I appreciated his sense of humor. RIP.

Didn’t realize he lived reasonably close. I have friends in northern Indiana and I stop in his hometown for Portillo’s whenever I’m in the area (only Portillo’s in Indiana). Wish I’d had the chance to meet him now.

Super nice guy and hilarious.

He could also argue a perspective from reason.

No more buffets for him to work...He is at the ultimate buffet above, to enjoy for eternity...

Humblegunner, thank you for this. I’m so sorry for the loss of your good FRiend. I liked him very much and only wish I’d been able to get to know him and Dorothy much better.
