Our beloved father, husband, grandpa (great), brother, uncle, and friend was returned home to his heavenly father on Monday morning. Cancer took you away, but can never remove the love and selflessness you will be remembered for. You were the strongest, most dedicated man we know. We are grateful for the memories we have in your home and on vacations. Your vibrant face and smile will be forever missed. If there is one man we can look at and say “what a great example of success and passion”, it is you. There are too many life lessons we have gained from having the opportunity to be in the presence of such knowledge that we cannot list them all. Just know that you touched the lives of those whose paths you have crossed. You will be missed and life will not be the same without you, Big Blue. We love you, Pa.

He is proceeded in death by his parents Paul and Fifi, his wife Gloria, and two of his grandchildren Angel and Solomon.
Rest In Love and Paradise. This is not goodbye, but until we meet again.
