We have known each other for over ten years. Met him and his children in Vermont and later reconnected here in Florida. He had a heart of gold and as everyone has said was a great protector. I fell in love with his spirit and kindness but mostly because he LOVED his children, grandchildren and parents. He was a giant of love. He will be missed by everyone and there is a lot that he touched. Proud we all have a big guardian angel to protect us! β€οΈβ€οΈ Love and prayers to Donnie, Kyle and tia π
