I have learned this morning that this man had some close ties with a number of people in town.  I don't know his real name, but do know that he went by the name LW.

"LW", as most would know him by, was a wonderful man.  He was full of kindness and had a heart of gold.  Thoughts and prayers to his family and the many friends he has.
