He seemed like such a nice person. I will miss all the wonderful pictures. He was always right in the center of things. When I saw him with Cindy, I thought they both smiled from the heart out. You could tell they really loved each other. He loved the whole family. I will be praying for all of the family and friends missing him. God bless you in your time of grief. You were blessed with him in your life for a lot of years! Hold on to that!
