For his family and friends, there couldn’t have been a more loving, loyal and true husband, father, brother, Papa and friend. He leaves an unparalleled example of integrity, honesty and how to love his fellow man to all who knew him. His family remembers his love, his playful sense of humor and unassuming manner and care and concern for others.
