When I was quite young he wrote something in my autograph book. Many years later I asked this sage man what it meant. He looked at me, smiled and told it was nonsense and apologized. I still laugh when I think of all the years I tried to figure out what the meaning.
Heaven has another angel who will always keep us guessing, He will be missed 💔
