He had his driver drop him off at the ranch gate and he walked the two miles in, LOL! He knew my dad and he berated me for being too tan (he still had band aids on from his skin cancer surgery). He was totally genuine and sincerely sweet."

Does not matter how the naysayers and such portray him, he is a national hero. He exemplifies all that is good...all that is the USA. As he often said, he was not perfect, actually flawed, but he showed class, patriotism and character in his entire life.
A shame the WH refuses to join everyone else and even fly our nations flag at half mast.
