When he returned from the Air Force , he bought my brother and I a football. He also, paid me money to go away , so he could be alone with my sister. I also enjoyed volunteering with him at the House of Welcome.
I was able to watch the service by streaming. As others, I will miss him! He was a truly remarkable man.
