I first met him while working for a home health company. He was always so warm, friendly and funny. I soon made sure to make him my last stop because we would always talk and time would escape. He used to complain when I had really busy days and couldn’t stay and talk long. He was a friend to anyone who knew him and will be sorely missed by everyone who had the pleasure to call him a friend. Rest In Peace my friend. Until we meet again. And like always (as I would leave his home): I would tell you to behave yourself, but you always tell me that’s no fun….so have fun up there.
