With deepest condolences and sincere sympathy for the loss of your loved one...he was indeed a man above men and certainly one-of-a-kind. There's no doubt he'll continue to live in the hearts of many, including those beyond his immediate family...count me among them. He's earned his angel wings and is probably playing guitar in Heaven's band.....I won't say good-bye because I hope to see you later
