My heart is broke and my eyes are full of tears. I loved this man like I've known him my whole life! I only had the privilege to personally know this man since last September, but in such short time he impacted me for a life time. I work for a coffee shop right down the street from him where he would come in everyday for a small cup of our dark roast. He always had the positivity of someone who just won the lottery..its just how he lived his life. Everyday was the best day of his life and he lived that way. It comes in waves that you are gone, I'm expecting you to walk through the coffee shop doors to tell me good morning. I love you my friend and will miss you everyday, thank you for letting me call you my grandpa when I have no family up here. Thank you for showing me how to truly live life. Rest in peace to one the of the greatest people i have ever met.
