Sorry for your family’s loss. He was such a wonderful person. I remember when we were little we didn’t know his name but we called him Mr. Nice Guy. He always seemed happy. God bless you all.
He was fabulous. Such a bull headed lovable man. He loved sitting and watching everyone at dialysis. Never forgot those sweet treats of winter green lifesavers. Tina and Bill I miss you both.
