As many of you have already learned, my dad lost his life on May 9th from a stroke that was caused by a late diagnosis of cancer that had already spread.

At the time, my dad was living in Pittsburgh, PA. But his wishes are for his ashes and services to be held in California.

My family has been able to cover almost all of the expenses; however, due to the number of friends and family my dad had made in his 67 years on this earth, we cannot afford a hall to accommodate everyone for his services. As well as the added costs to fly his remains from Pittsburgh to Los Angeles has been higher than expected and we would like to get my dad home.

We are asking if you can please help us with any amount possible so we can host a Celebration of Life that would be proper for him and bring him back to LA.

My mother, brother, and myself thank you for your blessings and prayers you have already shared and given us.

We appreciate you all and thank you in advance.

We are hoping to have the services in a couple of weeks
