It was in his nature to protect everyone and everything in his life, including the plants in his yard. So his then-fiancee will not forget the one time he gave her a handful of blossoms.
"I never asked him, but he gave me cut flowers, and he thought it was horrible," SaraLynn Mandel recalled. "I think it was the sweetest thing."
