I am sorry for your loss. I will always remember how nice of a person he was...and also how honest. I worked for him cleaning his house a few times as a kid and wrote down my hours in a notebook. I forgot about it, but to my suprise, he came across it about a year later and paid me! He was a great guy.

My thoughts and prayers are with your family during this difficult time.
