Our father and grandfather: an icon of honor, integrity, compassionate giving and selflessness. He was an awesome man in life; he will be remembered for who he was and for the values that he lived his life. He taught me the importance of honor, integrity and family and he lived these values unto his last moments. An absolutely incredible man.

He was an awesome father to all of us. He gave more to all of us than anyone could ever have wanted. Granddad was a figure for all of us to look up to and I will forever remember what a great man he was.
