Mr. Koenig and I connected during his time spent doing business with Publix. We became quick friends as we discussed our military experience. In fact, I gave him one of my Marine Corps covers (hat) which I believe is the one he's wearing in his photo. I remember that day well and he will continue to live in my memories.
