The best , always there for you and would give you the shirt off his back for you if you needed it , amazing cook, story telling was taken to new heights and awe when he spoke , it was hard not to want to know more . he coached me on the finer ways to do a crossword and gave me a place at his Thanksgiving table when I had no where to go. I miss him greatly , He was one of a kind. Eddie Pod
