Always a pleasant person and supportive of his family. I enjoyed seeing him and chatting at all of the youth soccer events.

Mr. Fukar was always such a kind, welcoming, and friendly man. Growing up, any time I would see him, he had that nice gentle, genuine smile, and would always give me a friendly Hello.
His personality and genuine kindness will always be remembered.
My deepest sympathies to his family!
Love and Hugs!
