He was like family.

I will cherish the years we had together talking politics, culture, history, society and art. He was a great "art dad", mentor and friend. He was my family and my hero. I will miss his smile, his laughter, his humor and his wisdom. He left a hole in my heart. He was one of a kind. I love you LeRoy!
