St. Charles has lost an ambassador.

He was not Political.

He never harmed a soul.

He gave his heart fully as no ambassador ever has, now or in the future.

Women were attracted to him, who could blame them… and if you pardon me for saying this, he was cute, cuddly and had a smile that attracted men and women alike.

Never a scandal, never a lie.

I, for one, admired his restraint when it came to conflict. He choose his fights carefully, and when he did fight, it was with boldness and courage. 

I knew of him, and never had the pleasure of being with him on his many journeys to Main Street or on his cross country expeditions. No, I only knew him from post and pictures and from the many stories that now will be legend.    

Cody, we will miss you.
