Goodbye to a dear dear friend...to an extraordinary person who had brought so much meaning into my life, who gave me a purpose for living, who showed so much strength in his frail body and became an inspiration to so many, who motivated and encouraged us his friends when we needed it, who had so much wisdom and generosity of heart and shared it to all of us, you will be greatly missed! But I know that you are in a better place now watching over all of us. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to know you. It was truly an honor and a great blessing!
Jack and Liz, Corey and Laura, my sincerest condolence to you and your families. You will all be in my prayers always.
Sincerely
