Though it's been many years since I have seen him I will carry with me some great memories of him. I will always remember some advice he gave me when I was maybe 6 or 7 years old that I'll never forget.. I have even passed those words to my own kids. He was a wonderful man! - Posted by: Tabitha Gjura (Family friend) on: Aug 20, 2012
