My kids watched that video and they absolutely loved him! We may take a trip to NOLA one of these weekends just to meet him. There is a children's book based on his story. I am going to get it for my little girl and maybe get him to sign it. What a sweet man.
“I love selling fruits and veggies to the people of New Orleans because there are people who can’t get to the big stores and people who don’t really like to go to the big stores. . . . They depend on me and I depend on them. We are all family; even if they don’t buy nothing, they still come out and we talk. The fact that this young lady has put me in her children’s book means a whole lot to me. I’m very thankful.”
