Me and my Grandmother (his eldest child) were at his home cleaning things out when we got the call, I was down in the remnants of his basement layout cleaning thi ngs up. So it was kind of cool to think his spirit was down there looking at it with me. He was doing fine up until a few weeks ago. Just wanted to let anybody who knew him know had passed. I posted photo's of his layout in the photo's section of it before being dismantled for auction.
