While I was still living in Westchester and working at the Galleria Mall in White Plains, Southard never stopped coming in to visit me. Anytime he was at the mall for whatever reason, he'd pop in even if it was just to say, "Hey." I didn't tell him then and now I'll never get the chance, but there were times that it brightened up my day more than he could know. Retail is monstrous to deal with and a familiar, friendly face broke the monotony of it all. He was always great to talk to and filled with so much caring for others. My condolences to others who are hurting over this immense loss to the the world. R.I.P. Southard. You're gone, but I promise you're not forgotten.
