Condolences to the family
When I got out of the hospital in August of 2020, after nearly 5 months of recovery , I needed a cigarette sooo bad and after pleading with the nurses upon my arrival at the rehabilitation center for walking , he was the first person to give me 2 of his smokes. I got to know him when we all gathered outside to smoke. He would scream at one guy to be quiet at least 4 times a day and each time it was hilarious. As I got to know him, slowly we realized that I was in the same class as Lindsay and Ashley back in elementary school! He had so much character and presence, tough on the exterior but really kind on the inside. We became friends over the course of a month that I spent there. We talked about war, politics, animals, everything! When it was time for him to go, I was really sad, and I think he was too. He told me to come see him in his room, where he gave me the rest of his cigarettes and precious change for the vending machines. I was touched that he wanted to do that, and I shook his hand and said I would never ever forget him, and I won't ! They don't make men like him too much these days, and the world is a bit less interesting now that he's gone. One of a kind man, my condolences to all his family and friends, I will see you in heaven again , one day, my friend 🙏
Your dad helped me move numerous times. He had a wonderful sense of humor. My heart goes out to all your family.
I still remember when your dad would come into the store from time to time with Cosmo when I was a teenager. They were always together, this scruffy little dog and this big gruff guy. I remember that he was always nice to me, always a "hi sweetie" and chatting a bit while he was there. While I haven't seen your dad in many years now, this is how I'll always remember him, with Cosmo under his arm. Linds, Ash, Gordie - my heart goes out to you. My sincere condolences to you and all those who care for your dad. May the best memories of time spent together crowd out the sad ones and bring you some peace in the days and weeks to come. I am here if you need anything, so please don't hesitate to reach out.
My deepest condolences to all his loved ones. May you all find strength and peace.
