I grew up a few houses away from Mr. Westwood. I recall him being a quiet friendly person. I could only describe him as the perfect neighbor. I took a walk in my old neighborhood and met Mr Westwood on his front lawn just a few years ago. I had the chance to tell him what a good neighbor he was and at the same time apologize for being one of the obnoxious kids on the street.
