So sad to find out about the passing of my big brother.
He gave the best bear hugs as he came around to comfort me through my difficult paths.
He drove overnight to be present at my wedding in Delaware in 2020.
A man of God.
Great friend.
Loving husband and father.
You will forever live in our hearts and minds.
