I knew him through real estate for years. He worked with me in my small company for a few years. And it was just so nice to hear his voice because it always lifted my day. He was very true to his personality. One of the kindest men I´ve known. He always made everyone laugh and then laughed at his own jokes. It was funny hearing his South side Chicago accent from such a white boy. But he sure liked to use it a lot. A man that will always stay in the heart of those who were fortunate enough to have gotten to know him.

Old friend, our distance in miles, and our separate lives by no means have I ever forgotten our childhood friendship. No words could I say in why we had not kept in touch, but know this my prayers will be with your family. As with God's will, our childhood friendship will someday commence to be again, when I am called upon to his kingdom, until then, I'll Miss you.

My prayers are with you that the Lord let you remember the husband and father you were able to have even for a short time. What joy there was when he spoke of his family. I am grateful to have known him.

November 14, 2012

Our thoughts and prayers are with the whole family at this sad time. He will be missed by so many. He was a great guy.
