I was very sorry to read of his passing. In 2007/2008, I was corresponding with him about the Recycling Program for Cranston and what a wonderful job he did for our City and the Future of Cranston. He made a difference in the short time he was here. My prayers for strength and peace are sent to his family and friends.
