If you knew our Dad, then you know what a giving and unselfish man he was. It didn’t matter who you were, if you needed help, he was there. He would rather give than receive.

He made broken, look beautiful and strong look invincible. He walked with the universe on his shoulders and made it look like a pair of wings. Those we love never truly leave us. There are things that death cannot touch.
