Dad,for all the times you were by our side, to help and support us, to celebrate our successes, to understand our problems and accept our defeats.
He was known for his positive energy and jovial spirit that brought many smiles to everyone. The memories will forever be with us. We’ll always remember the special smile, that caring heart, that warm embrace you always gave us. You being here for Mom and us through good and bad times, no matter what.
