He will be greatly missed by all who had the pleasure to know him, along with his sense of humor and laughter that always managed to put a smile on our faces. You will be greatly missed Dad, your long life has now come to a close, with your spirit reuniting with those lost before you. Although your spirit has moved on, the joy and happiness of the many memories and experiences shared with you will live on forever in the hearts of those you touched. You were an incredible man in every sense of the word and managed to make the world a brighter place when you were around, reaching out a helping hand or cracking a joke if necessary, even if you got nothing in return. You enjoyed seeing the smiles on others faces, not obsessed with looking in the mirror. You willingly sacrificed working long hours to feed your family. You were a role model to those that knew you, a reminder of what a man should strive to be. The love and admiration given by you will never be forgotten. Rest In Peace, you are now with Mom "your angel", We love you, Dad! XOXOXOXOXO In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to either charity of your choice, The American Heart Association P.O.
