I will certainly miss Mr. Fet, Pa Pa, and I will never forget all the good times and fish fries we had at work. I learned so much from him and he always treated me like one of his grandsons. May he rest in peace. I know he is having a great reunion in heaven with his loved ones and will suffer no more. With all my Love, Shaun
