"This is heartbreaking. I am so very sorry. Each time I was around him he was kind and the very last time I was around him I remember him laughing at me as I had a couple drinks to many (cheap drinker) it only takes 2 . When I think of his sweet face laughing at me/with me it has truly made me wish I knew him better. ❤❤❤. Randy and I visited him a few times in Texas and I really liked him bunches.❤❤❤❤❤ His smile is forever in my heart. Jan Nowlan."
