To the greatest man Ive ever known, my Dad.You were a highly intelligent,courageous,fair and kind man.Your perseverance to succeed rose above all else,you always said"son dont pray for an easy life, but rather for the strength to make it through a hard one".He was not only my father but also my friend,my teacher and my buddy. I will miss you always.
