He was an amazing husband, father, grandfather and friend. We will forever love him and cherish every memory we have with him. He has taught us to love others, to be giving, work hard, never give up, never settle for less and always have pride in what we do, expect the best from ourselves and no less.
His smile was like no other, the laughter and love he brought into our lives will forever be missed. We will never forget how hard he worked to give us a good life here on earth.
