My dad made friends everywhere he went. I cannot tell you how many times people would tell how sweet he was. He was kind, hardworking, dedicated to his family and loved us all unconditionally. He was the first man I ever fell in love with. I will miss him greatly, but I am thankful for all the years we had. I will miss our conversation, political discussions, and the bowling, soccer, and baseball we watched and laminated over. Hug mom for us dad and watch over your family that misses you...

I really loved Fabian. He was a great father-in-law, a good example for everyone who knew him. He really enjoyed talking sports, often about the Bears and Blackhawks but always about his beloved Cubs. I'll miss very much hearing him ask his favorite question, "What's that guy's name?" It doesn't matter now, Dad. Just know that your family and friends will never forget you.
