" he probably weighed close to 300 pounds and maybe no taller than 5'8" with a full beard. "
And that would describe this gentleman as well, maybe add 25-30 lbs.
I didn't want to bust this guy's balls as he was a nice guy and a pastor now as well. Just too many things in too short of a time frame as he is only 44 years old but had also worked for the NSA, while being addicted to drugs/EtOH. Trained service dogs for the PTSD patients for the VA (after he received one himself) etc.
