I sold him a townhome in Clermont and from that day he was one of the truest most giving friends I have ever known. I moved and started an animal rescue and Ino did not care to be around all of the dogs but MOSTLY he did NOT want to be in the farm atmosphere due to the possibility of snakes😆 He told me about his childhood and how he would walk barefoot and snakes were always a threat. I can’t remember him saying he was ever bitten but this was the topic anytime snakes were mentioned.

This man went out of his way to help me thru a very devastating financial time. I remember opening my door to find bags of groceries waiting for me (more than once). He never asked for anything in return.

I ran into him one day in Kohl’s and he agreed to let me treat him to lunch. I could tell he was pleasantly surprised that I could afford to buy him lunch. He almost had a proud look on his face to know that I had pulled through and he had a large hand in making that possible.

While we were there I was able to give him back money that he had loaned me. He hesitated to take it because he worried it would be a Hardship for me. I insisted and went on to tell him how things were going. He was sincerely so happy for me. Little did I know this was to be our goodbye.

We agreed that day to meet up for lunch often. I tried to reach him over the months and finally found out he was in the VA hospital in Washington. I couldn’t understand him on the phone but a nurse told me where he was.

I was shocked!!! Since that day, I have planned to travel to that hospital to visit him, and this fall I was going to finally be able to takeoff work.

I made attempts to reach him but chalked it up to whatever the sickness was he was dealing with and just kept praying that I would make it to see him.

Fast forward to this month, I was unable to reach him on his phone to make arrangements to visit. I couldn’t remember the name of the hospital the nurse had given me, so I decided Earlier today to Google his name……..and to my dismay, found this obituary.

Ino, my heart is crushed And I will never forget you and how much you mean to me. I know how much love you had in your heart for everyone especially your daughter and your grandchildren. You were always beaming with pride when you spoke about them.

I always remember you saying ‘Carpe Diem’ and you did just that! You were so helpful to so many people you actually had an effect on others lives in such a great way. Other men should live with the honor and integrity with which you lived.

You will forever be in my Heart ❤️ less

Ino was 17; I was 16 when we met. Seven years later we began our journey together. There were many good times but the most joyous was the arrival of our beautiful Natalie. Thank you Ino.
