Love you Paisano. Miss you man. lots of good memories. He was quite the fellow. I have heard so many great stories of him in the old days. I know him from the last ten years. But he has blessed this community for many years.

We had some long conversations a couple weeks ago. i shall treasure his memory and his remarkable history.

One of my favorite stories was how the young men (who are now about 50 and running various enterprises around town) needed some rum in the middle of the night, they would pound on his door til he woke up and came to the door. he would give the (free) a couple bottles of rum and off the guys would go. no matter what hour i asked? no matter. he was rich in money once, and gave a lot of it away.

and i thank him again for the baby conch shell. it is now even more treasured.

peace paisano.
