My Father was a pillar in our family. He loved nothing more than seeing us together and happy. He was strong, funny, caring, and was there for you when you needed him. He could fix anything, worked hard to provide for his family, and knew how to drop a joke at just the right moment.

On August 25th he went to the hospital for pain in his stomach. Scans showed a mass in his stomach and a biopsy showed it was cancer. We tried fighting with Chemo, but doctors informed him it was terminal and he tried to fight it. September 21 he lost his fight and passed away surrounded by loved ones. Most of us are still in shock at the sudden and extreme nature of this cancer. My Dad was healthy, his blood work looked great, yet this rare cancer just attacked him and took him from far too soon. He could of easily gone another 20 years caring for his family and loved ones.

We are preparing to handle his estate but would love any support you can offer our family in this time of struggle and pain. We are all struggling to cope with this loss and find a way to continue on. As you can imagine, Medical Bills and other expenses will be high. We appreciate any and all support.
