I am Roni. I loved my Dad very much. He was far from perfect, but he and my mom adopted me when I was a baby bringing me into a huge family that welcomed me with open arms.

My Dad was incredibly talented, creative, and resourceful. He was smart too, probably sometimes too smart for his own good. So much of my Dad's historical art is in many places throughout the United States. While the companies commissioned to create the works take credit, my Dad's hands created something from nothing for an hourly wage. Message me and I'll tell you about them.

I didn't see him a lot because he chose to live on the streets in Riverside; I think he liked the freedom of doing what he wanted when he wanted, with no one to tell him what to do. But, when I did see him, it was like we were together yesterday.

My Dad was funny, wise and taught me so much about art and life and I always knew his heart because he had a big one.

I knew this time would come and covid made it happen quickly.

Now my Dad's fight is done and he can be at peace. Now he can finally rest. I want to send him off surrounded by family and friends so that we will remember him as the big brother, the little brother, the artist, the funny kid, Tio Chris and Dad.

Thank you.
