A TRUE FRIEND in every sense of the word. He stood by you in thick & thin, right or wrong, good or bad. One call & he came when needed. He will be sorely missed for a long time to come. We are so
very sorry for everyone who lost him from their lives, there's no replacement for his love in ours. He was as strong as an ox with the biggest heart of pure gold. No words can express the deep loss.
Rick & Vickie, Kat & Mags, Jeni & Silas, Dawn & Jeri.
