As many know our dad has been fighting the fight for years.  He told us he was going to fight until the end and that is what he did. He was hopeful, he was caring, he was the best dad and papa we could have ever asked for and he kept his sarcasm and laughter until the end. He passed away peacefully with my sister and I by his side. He never wanted to prepare for these days and this is why we have decided to try and ask for help. We send our condolences to everyone who loved him and thank you for any help that can be given.
