Always a gentleman & a scholar. I don’t think he met too many people that didn’t end up becoming friends.
He was a great neighbor who was always giving a friendly wave. I could tell he loved his dog. He would drive him around. He was also kind enough to cut the shared grass on our driveway. Just always doing nice stuff out of the kindness of his heart. I am saddened to hear this and am going to miss him.
RIP neighbor! Such a nice man and loved people, family and his 🐕 Bullet.
What a cool dude. Sucks to lose such a generous soul. You will be missed, brother.
