He was known for having strong faith in the Lord and he shared his love for the scripture. It gave him great joy in donating to charities and helping people in need. He will be deeply missed, but his legacy of kindness and commitment to family and friends will not be forgotten.

Our family would like to extend our blessings and gratitude to all of you who were there for us and especially for him.
