Didn’t know this man but just found out he and I have the same birthday which is cool. Never got to meet you man but hope you rest easy in Heaven. Don’t know what you went through to cause your death but you’re a Pisces like me so I already know you’re one heck of a sweet person a loving person and now you’re safe of the loving sweet Master. You lived a long life you came along like 35 years before me so you were also very wise no doubt…Heaven gained a sweet angel. Sorry you passed away two days before our birthday that we never got to meet
