Rest In Peace my friend. During the past 12 months we would communicate back and forth. We joked a lot and talked about meeting for dinner once Covid got behind us. I truly had no idea he was suffering. It’s still hard to believe but if I had known of his pass, I definitely would have showed my respects. I will miss you bro. God bless and thanks for being in my life.
