So sorry to see him go. Cancer is a terrible disease to cope with and causes much suffering. Now he is at peace. He was my 1st boss as I started out in the workaday world. I delivered the Oregonian for him for many years. He was a great guy and fun to play video games with. He will be missed greatly.
