Such a nice man. I’m praying for the family.
Indeed. I bought a machine from him this spring. I had heard he was a great guy and when he passed out gift cards to the machine mover employees for no apparent reason, I knew what I had heard was true. Later that day we had to go get supplies and as he drove his daughter called, and I distinctly remember how his voice instantly softened when speaking to her. So very few times have I HEARD love in a persons voice, but I heard it in both of theirs. So sad to hear of his passing. I will miss him in our brief time, I can only imagine his families pain.
