Shirley will always have a special place in my heart as one of my favorite clients. I'll never forget his mischievous grin and the first time I met him. I also remember spending time with him watching old Westerns on TV while my business partner met with Emma on "business". His quiet special presence was one I enjoyed sharing- he will be missed. My love and condolences to Emma and his family
