Met Paul and Linda 3 years ago at an improv Valentines performance in Bethany.
He will be missed by all,who he led to laughter; and in the Memory of that laughter, may the pain and tears of such a sudden loss be lifted from those close to him with the comfort of knowing that he left his TRUE mark with a SMILE that will endure.
