God decided he had suffered enough and it was time to take him home. A precious soul and a great friend.
Love and condolences to all his family. He was certainly loved and will ge missed dearly.
Thank you so much Vickie. Dad enjoyed your friendship very much. When you moved Dad sure did miss the many laughs, conversations and Youtube bingeing you shared together.
Faith, Family and Friends can get you through anything.
This man! Such an amazing and beautiful human being with the most beautiful family. The love that he had for his children and their families was beautiful. He was so funny and charismatic right to the end. The love that he had for all who knew him constantly overflowed. He was always smiling and laughing and that is always how I will remember him. With a heart bigger than anyone could imagine he could not hurt a soul.
He made the most beautiful promise to Sandra and that was that he would live to see 80. He kept that promise and as fast as he kept that promise, he raced to the one true love of his life. Living now with Sandra, Rebecca, and the others that have moved on, he is looking over everyone of his family with a healthy and strong heart, showering you all with love and strength as you grieve your loss.
He was a lovely man, loved by all who knew him and though not in body anymore, he will always be with you all.
