He was a right great neighbor, and a Great coffee buddy & friend! I and all my family are going to miss him! Hearts that won't easily mend! A true- (Green thumb), I'm gonna miss swapping stories, along with Salsa or other items grown in his garden, for jelly or jam usually just for free! A neighbor like him, is what we all should strive to be! A downright Gem!!
