Very glad that we met you and had a chance to spend some time together. Rest in peace.🙏🏻
was an admirable man.
My Dad.
He taught me the right way to look at things when life threw curveballs.
My dad taught me about our teacher Jesus, and how we should always be forgiving, and loving like he was. To live by what he taught -to love God, and treat others the way you would like to be treated. To love our neighbors, even those we disagreed with, *even our enemies!
My dad taught me to be sensible, and to always do my best to be helpful.
He taught me, by always showing me, love.
He taught me what it was to be a good man.
He taught me what it was to be kind.
He was my hero .
His kindness, energy and sparkle will not be forgotten. Condolences to all who loved him
