Harrison Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 (edited) What a kind man. Took sometime to help me out a year or so ago with real estate issues I was having. This is really sad news, the good ones go way to early. This is how he signed off one email below, sums up what kind of man he was. "Let me know what you want to try first and I'll do what I can to help out." In my thoughts. Phil Edited April 18, 2011 by Harrison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigugli Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 That has just darkened and saddened my day.
