Dear family, friends and all who may have known and were acquainted with my father. It is with great sorrow that I find myself informing folks of his passing. My father was a great man who managed to live a full life with a lot of love, laughter, and smiles while leaving behind a long-lasting impression on our lives.

We were fortunate enough to see his light shine bright for us while he made it to 70 years old. He was a proud honorable man that stood by his family and friends, never thinking twice to lend a hand when needed.

He had a passion for welding and fabrication of recreational vehicles. Building and designing new projects brought him great joy. He loved to work with his hands and was a jack of all trades always happy to teach others his craft. People referred to him as the “Fonz”.

His passing was so unexpected that we saw no signs of his unforeseeable future. We are not prepared to say goodbye nor were we financially ready. After our initial meeting with the mortuary, we see the figures are adding up quickly. All expenses are to be paid in full prior to services without any options for financing. I am asking for assistance. I would appreciate all support no matter how small. Your contributions will go towards funding his burial expenses. This includes: Coffin, flowers, transportation, cemetery plot, burial and church services.

I understand we all have our own burdens, especially in the current economic state. Please do not feel obligated to donate. Your thoughts and prayers are enough to help us get through this unfortunate event.
