We are so saddened by the loss of Fuzz. He was an icon in Tuxedo, and a very good neighbor/friend of our whole family. We will never forget him. Please accept our deepest condolences, and hope that happy memories will sustain you all.
A couple years back we meet Mr.Eckman at the gym. So friendly and kind, we always enjoyed visiting him while working out.
So very sad for your loss. The Kings.
