This was the kindest man.
I am so saddened by this loss and so sad to be remembering him here.
We are all so inspired by this truly loving, kind man.
I have appreciated his influence on my son and my nieces, nephews, and on my sister, sister-in-law, brother, and my immediate family.
I am honored to have known him, and feel that his legacy is that we can always feel comfortable, remembering and honoring who he was, and who he is, in his children, wife and family.
We will all miss him.
Love,
Liz Fitch
