Everyone at the facility loved him and he considered it home. He was a kind, considerate, gentle man that loved his family. He was always willing to help others and asked nothing in return. He never complained about anything, even as his health declined and getting around was difficult. He could usually be found wandering around in his wheel chair humming or whistling.
