My dad was a quiet guy with a huge heart. He loved being around his family especially his grandkids. He loved camping any where in the sequoias or at the beach. He loved his beach time especially Father’s Day because then he got to go to the car show and see all the classics and be with the people he loved. Most of the time it was his wife Patti and son Anthony and daughter in law Yesenia and his grand kids and that is what made him happy being with family. My dad really loved having home bbq at my sister Shauna’s because then he had all his kids and grandkids all together and that made him so happy. Bbq and football oh no watch out especially when his Raiders played he loved his Raiders. He loved coming to Bakersfield to his daughter Jonette’s on weekends not only because he loved being with us but he loved her cooking he couldn’t wait to put his request in on what he wanted me to make him lol and I would. He would tell me don’t make it to hot for your mom won’t be able to eat it I’ll add chille to mine ok dad I won’t lol…Anytime they had plans to do anything they would always try and get one of us if not all of us to do it with them. He loved amusement parks as well we had plans to go to universal studios this year for Halloween and Disney for Christmas we will still try and do that for you dad. He is going to be a great grandpa and he was so excited he couldn’t wait for his little guy to be born. Mom would tell him I’m going to be a GG and Dad would tell her ya well I’m a GG to and he wanted a shirt for them both that said GG. He was so excited for this new adventure with a new addition to our family. But I promise in everything we do you will still be apart of it dad we will never forget you or leave you out. We love you and we miss you so much.
