A note from his sister: What an honor to be the long distance caretaker, advocate, Friend, and sister to such a precious man. I will miss his joking, his smile, his roll with the punches, and his parting words when we would leave, "Don't worry about me. I know where I am going!!!" I will always treasure these last nine years God gave us!!
