I remember his warm hugs and big smiles as a little girl. We know he will be missed, but are glad he is no longer suffering.

This saddens me and I am sorry for your loss. His family meant the world to him. He told me many stories on our road trips to store visits in W Va. and you could hear the pride in his voice. I will miss his big smile and positive attitude. God’s blessing 🙏
