Margei, Carmen, Nikki, Gabe & Jacqui-This was such a shock to discover. There are no words to express my sorrow for all of you. He was a good and decent man and taken too soon. Know my thoughts and prayer are with you now, and the days ahead. I cannot begin to gauge your grief. LOVE and HUGS, ~Patty

Dad,
You were always an encouraging, strong and respectful man. You taught us to fight for what was right and to never give up. You were a great husband to Mom and a wonderful father to me and my brother & sisters. Thank you for all the great memories and for just being there whenever I needed you. This isn't goodbye Daddy, it's until I see you again. Thank you for always being one of my guardian angels on Earth & in Heaven.
Love,
Carmelita
