His main purpose in life was his family. He loved and adored all his family and was always there to lend a helping hand. He always had a story to tell and a good joke!! You knew when he was around because he'd be whistling or jingling the change in his pocket!!

He was a proud, respectful, good hearted and kind man. He believed that family was first no matter what. He taught us good values, a good work ethic and to always be good people.

He will be profoundly missed by all who knew and loved him.

We wish to thank all of the staff at the VA Castle Point Veterans Village for the exceptional care, kindness, dignity and honor they bestowed on our dad. Also we thank the volunteer veterans for their beautiful honor escort. You all will remain forever in our hearts.
