He was a beautiful person inside and out. There is so much good things to say about him I don’t even know where to start. He will be missed by many.
His friends from Lowell High School class of 1964 will miss him.
Sure am glad we went for lunch this summer. Gonna miss him (and his skillful domino games). Love and peace to his family, they were everything to him.
