He will be remembered for his faith in God, his warm giving spirit, and his love for children. He left behind poetry to those he loved… to remember him by.
To all of his numerous friends and dearest family members…He loved you dearly. As he said to one of his nieces a couple of days before he passed when she kissed his cheek and told him she loved him “I wish we could stay here forever”! This was because of the depth of love he had for his family.
