My Father In Law was one of those special men Who truly knew what life was about Who demonstrated that his family came first For his actions left no room for doubt My Father in laws greatest joy was his family
In fact, there was no faster way
To light up his face with an ar-to-ear smile Than the mention of his own children's names, grandkids,brothers and sister He preferred to discuss his children's accomplishments
Rather than his own And loved to recall the sweet memories
Of his children and how they had grown.
So as we say goodbye and remember
My father in law...the man he came to be He'd be happiest being remembered by all who knew him As a man who loved his family " He will be missed

I am posting my condolances to Mr Ibarra's family. I saw in the paper today that he was a Operating Engineer as was my Father, Al Taffolla which meant he was my Dad's brother. I am thinking I may know some of his family members, my heart goes out to all of you and may you find comfort during the days to come without him.
