“Just a great guy. I did business with him and became quite a friend. His personality never changed. I never seen him mad and never upset. His conversation was always interesting. He loved to tell stories of past experiences, and I liked hearing them. I wish I knew more people like him. Our condolences. Jim and Robyn Penatzer”
