"I live across the street, from where Chris lived, I wish I could have got to know him better. We did have a few nice chats over the cucumbers I would bring him during the summer from my garden. & When I would notice his trash can left out in the road after trash day I would move it away from the road to just help keep his place more secure because I knew he was gone all week.I will miss him. I am very very sorry for your loss..."
