You always had a way with you to make a joke out of some crazy situations, but it always worked....turned what could have been a violent or bad situation into people talking, laughing and sometimes drinking and having fun together. You always wanted the best for all of your kids and your wife.....to all of us we may not have had everything we wanted, but we Damn sure had what we needed. I know you are with us still dad, just wish it were here in our world ....but heaven is so much better for you....it just hurts so much when we all miss you,when we all want to hug and kiss you....we can't! 

Was a US Marine, with a National Service Defense Medal and an Honorable discharge. A husband,friend and soul mate for 42years. A DAD to five and many many more, Grandpa to 10 biological (one that was on the way due anytime) step grandsons, 1 great- grandson, and many step great-grandkids. An awesome brother to 4 brothers and 1 sister, many nieces, and nephews who all loved and adored him. He will forever be in my heart and I'm sure everyone else's hearts that he touched while on earth too. Gone but never forgotten! Forever our Hero!!
