I remember helping him a couple of times when he did his apostery work out of his garage in money back,I would help strip off the old fabric and the tacks,nails, staples etc...,then I would watch him transform that frame that had nothing left that most people would had thrown away,and with his own vision make some thing so breathtaking and truly amazing, didn't even look like the same peace of furniture,then he would ask me if I think the customer would like it ,I would always say they should,I got the opportunity to go on a delivery one time of a couch he did,he was so nervous if they were going to like it ,but when they it they fell in love with it and couldn't thank him enough,he was one of my influence in my life very good hearted man,glad I got to meet him even if it only for a short time, that's just one of memories that I could share, I'll see you again my friend in heaven
