Sorry for your Loss . It was always a joy to talk to Chad . He always had a smile on his face .
We maybe spent 5 hours with this man, mowing his aunts yard and person on the other side of us. We would invite him over for a beer during his long day, after working a long day. But, we loved him like we knew him for 100 years. Such a horrible loss of a great man in this world.
