Hey Ryan,
As the years go by what is increasing clearer to me is that it is all about kindness and unselfishness and sharing.When you have people in your life that have have been that way you have had a real blessing! I am sorry about your loss! Reach out to his family to return the good things he brought to you and incorporate those good things that he brought to you in your interaction with others.Given the person you are saying these things is unnecessary.
I am sorry bud!
Scot
