The last time we were together was in high school. But I haven't forgotten him because he was kind, tall and a soft spoken person. He is always smiling with everybody. After 27 years I found him on Facebook and had a talk with him and his wife over Skype. I was so happy to tell everybody that I found him. Specially to my best friend Gil. We were also devastated by the news that he already passed away. Even though we knew that he was ill. We still hoped and prayed for healthy and longer life for him. Happiness and peace with his family. I just hoped that we had the chance to see him again in person, had a get-together, chit-chat and everything. I know that he is happy and at peace now with the Lord. We will never forget him. God Bless his family.... - Posted by: Juliet de Silva (Friend since highschool) on: Sep 29, 2015
