Happened about 30+ times and i would take dayes there sometimes. And he would never stick around as long when others were there but he was the ultimate wingman.
He stopped coming eventually and i assume he died or got a family. But yeah i still cherish those memories to this day. And its been over 15+ years. He was my number 1 fan
