My father was a special person. Throughout my fathers lifetime, he was the type of person that loved to be welcoming, giving, tell jokes, get involved in the community when he could, he loved to connect to people, and most of all he was always full of life and laughter.  

He lived a happy life with his wife of 45+ years and even after being diagnosed with Parkinson Disease in 2010.  My father always pushed forward through all his difficulties. 

Unfortunately on June 27, 2020  at the age of 70 years old he was hospitalized with Pneumonia-Covid-19.  He faced his biggest fear of catching covid-19. The doctors at the hospital could only do as much as they said they could and on July 10, 2020  he took his last breath and fought his last fight. 

He left behind a wife, five children, a niece he took in as his own daughter, and five grandchildren. My father will always be remembered as a loving and kind husband, father, grandpa, uncle, friend, and stranger. 

My family and I (his daughter) are wanting to give him the funeral arrangements that he wished for even during this pandemic. We are asking from the bottom of our hearts for any type of donation.

We are very grateful for any help and also for taking the time to read about my father. Thank you for helping to raise finances with us during this time.
