Last Friday a larger than life person passed after a long battle with cancer. His friends left words of condolence on his Facebook wall describing him: inspiring, loyal, gentle giant, kind, funny, wonderful sense of humor, brave. Many people will never forget his laugh. Or the way he could turn any conversation into something more colorful. As for me, I was able to visit him for the first time in a long time a few months ago. And I am glad I was able to speak to him one last time the Saturday before he passed. He most certainly was loved by many, many people. I hope the funeral home knows how many people are going to show up for him!
