To the family of D.C. I work downtown and I would see him almost daily multiple times he would stop his bus for a quick second and i would come out of my booth and give each other our morning ritual fist bump through his window. He mad me smile everyday. We shared stories and a few cheesy jokes and it was a wonderful friendship. He was a wonderful man very kind. I will truly miss him. He was a big part of my day I looked forward to seeing him. Now he will be forever in my heart and I will cherish the times we had. Salt of the earth a great man and I am honored to have known him. 🙏🙌🫶
