Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal.

He was a wonderful friend to my family. I will always remember fun visits to Ackron Ohio and his great sense of humor.

He was a fun man to know and always made you laugh. Two women from Fonville Morisey showed up when they were selling their home in Raleigh and he answered the door saying "look everyone, Fonville AND Morisey are here!"
