Your father was a kind, generous, and gentle man with a heart as big as the world. He will be sorely missed by those who had the pleasure of surrounding themselves with his presence. We hope that you can find peace knowing that he has been given his wings and that he no longer has to bear the burden of his worldly bodies struggles. Fly away and keep an eye on as as we travel through the journey of life. Farewell Friend.
