Our deepest sympathy to his family and friends. To my family, he was so kind. He found small means to connect in big ways. I will definitely miss the comics he would select and send. They were a glimpse into his perspective and always filled us with smiles. We will always remember his genuine attitude towards life and the love he had for his family, especially his grandchildren.
