Warm memories of passion for life and all that is best; always viewing others through rose colored glasses and wondering why others do not see the world as he does; talking non-stop; laughter and fearlessness in facing the next challenge; compassion for others in place of self care; faithfulness in taking medications in spite of side effects and a gift of giving even in times where his needs were overwhelming to those of us who loved and admired him. What a remarkable man supported by a loving, caring, non-judgmental family unit that was life giving. The world has lost another precious gift long before his time.
