So very sad god love the poor man !! To many house fires this time of year may he rest in peace
Very sad news,may he rest in peace.
Rip . A quiet gentle soul that never bothered anybody
Elderly people living alone are very vulnerable to accidents such as this. My own father has memory problems after a stroke and often forgets he has something on the stove .
