Amazing human, wonderful friend, fiercely loyal. Always had your back, taught me many things about life, helped and young kid turn into a man. Taught me how to swing off of the old tree into the river by the native side of the 32nd street bridge. Rest in peace friend we will see you again.

The world lost one of the kindest and compassionate people I heave ever know. His work ethic was as strong as his love and friendship. He never did anything without giving it his all. The dogs of this world have lost a champion that fought for the ones no one wanted. So sorry he has left us.
