He had a very big heart and showed it through his love of animals. He would bring home dogs and cats to family members all the time. He also had compassion for people who were down on thier luck, bringing them home with him when they needed a place to stay. He tried very hard the last few years of his life to have the things most of us take for granted, a job, a home, good friends. Family.. well family is something he's always had.
