I just came from Dane Hobbs Memorial,aka Santa,ZZ,Ole Fella.
It was amazing.I was happy to meet his family and learn much more about him.He was laid to rest with his parents whom if you talked with him you know he missed them very much.I was happy to tell his family how much so many of us here in Wilmington cared for him.They were surprised but very happy with the outpour of condolences.Dane for this generation is much like The Fort Fisher Hermit was to older people in this area.Rest in peace guy,we will miss you.
