We will terribly miss the man who stitched every possible definition of kindness in our hearts. Dad was known for his infectious laugh, humor, comical personality and his ability to write poems and music. He was caring, forgiving, hysterical, thoughtful and compassionate. His words of wisdom will always be remembered and his spirit will live within us eternally.
