Lost a beloved it fried today

I'm very sad that I lost a beloved friend today. I started working for the school when I was fourteen years old.  I remember that it was the first interview I ever went on and he instantly made me feel comfortable.  He was just like a dad.  Every day at work I'd help cleaning and taking care of the kids at the day care center. We would chit chat and I really got to know him well. He made every day an adventure  and was just a good man.  I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to say goodbye to him.
