Thanks guys. 
 
 
My experience with the man was quite sweet. We met at the mosque for Friday prayers. He would gently address me, "Jallow," then we engaged in mild conversations. 
Here is something about the deceased. That closes a whole chapter about H I Jagne. May the lord opens the gates of Jannah for him, the many others that went before him, and those that will go after him. ameen!
 
Best regards,
Yero
