Her mother says, He was an extraordinary man with a heart of solid gold. My favorite word to describe him was always…charming. He had an unforgettable smile. I wish I could look into his big brown eyes,hold his ginormous hands and get one last kiss and hug,melting in his 6’5″ 250# stature again. Part of me left this earth with his soul.
