A loving, caring, hard working, honest, and wonderful man is what was lost. He will be remembered and loved by so many. My roomie after Hurricane Katrina, there is no one else I would have rather shared a space with. I love you so much Mr. Junior... And to the rest of the Kelt family, my family... I love you all and am so sorry for this tremendous loss.
