Such an amazing man-so full of joy, kindness, and pride for life and his family. We first met him at the farmers market, and from that day on, every time he was in town, he would stop by to say hello and share a story. His presence always brought a smile, and we still find ourselves smiling whenever we talk about him. Though our time knowing him was too short, the joy and warmth of his memory will stay with us for a lifetime. We feel so grateful and blessed to have crossed paths with him
