Like you, I mourn the loss of a great man, a man who I consider myself lucky to have known. He could fix anything and he had a rare vision. Under his skillful hand, lawnmowers that had been abandoned as junk would find new life and he would give a reborn mower to anyone in need. With his vision, a clothes dryer that would never dry again would become a luxury condo for a lucky dog. When I would sit on his porch for a fat chewing session with him, it was rare that I did not come away having learned something and I always felt better than I felt before I talked with him. I am a better person for having known him. While I will miss him, he will continue to live in my memory and my heart, and I know that it will be the same with his family and anyone who knew him.
