102. He was incredible...

Thu May 21, 2015, 04:03 PM

May 2015

I met him while I was trying to trim a palm tree in my yard. I had no concept what I was doing... He saw me and took whatever the instrument I was using and completed the task in five minutes. One time the chute to my dryer was clogged...It was on the top of my roof... I told him I would call a service and have it cleaned...He insisted on going up on the roof and doing it himself...He's 76 years old...I said "your wife is going to kill us."

After my mom passed away my friend and I bundled her clothes to give to the Salvation Army. There were thirteen or so bundles...We drove from my home in Lake Mary to the Salvation Army in Casselberry; a thirty minute ride...He was like a dad to ne and I had a problem to tell him but I also had funny things to tell him so I asked him "do you want to hear the funny stuff or the serious stuff first?". He said "the funny stuff" so I spent the whole trip and back telling him funny stuff. When he got back home after an hour or so of talking about nothing he told me his brother died, the same brother we went up to Jacksonville to see a few days ago.
