Yes he was a sweet old man. I loved our visits to his Angelas Forrest Home. I think it was through out the 60's I was in my teens then he had to be about 90 years old then. His English was pretty good then if you listened hard. He played the piano many times after visited for a while. He painted several different types of paintings for us as gifts including a life size one of my mom. I still have them although I have no idea what they are worth.
