His love was all about family (and food, he loved to eat!)  As he grew older and started a family of his own, he worked hard to make ends meet and was willing to give whatever he could when he could. He was a father to 4 children and raised an additional 3 more! He was greatly loved as a father, grandpa, great grandpa and by all family and friends.  He was easy to like and even easier to love. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
