Barbara J Carr wrote a sympathy message

“He's my lottery buddy as i called him. I would see him often at Food lion, kroger or Publix. I am saddened at his passing. We would talk for an hr at lottery machine. He sure loved his outings with his brother at Rosies.or Rivers. Also Dover before he got sick. He would tell me about their dinners and loads of food they took home for Free. It tickled him that it was all free. He would talk about his family and how they stepped up to the plate and made his journey easier. Now he doesn't need help”
