Many remembered him as a gentle soul with a love for his community and a heart for others. “He was the kind of person who’d help anyone,” a neighbor said through tears. “It’s hard to believe he’s gone.”
The Buffalo Fire Department continues to investigate the cause of the blaze. For now, the charred remains of the Rano Street home stand as a solemn reminder of life’s fragility — and of a man whose memory will live on in the hearts of those who knew him.
