The very gentlest man I met in my years in Ashe-Vegas, as he called it laughing, that twinkle bright in this eye. I never make chili but for starting by dry roasting corn in a skillet, a’la Williams.
So sorry to hear of your passing Toni. Loved to sit and chat with you. Very fond memories, a good man
I love you brother Gizmo!
