Dear “Dad”,
There are truly no words to convey the impact you had on so many lives, and my life. You always made sure to teach us all so much, I don’t even know where to begin, except the very true core you gave to all of us – the value of family, and true friends. I am so very thankful you came into my life, and filled it with more love than I could ever have imagined. You blessed me with more sisters and a brother, and made sure to make us close, I will be forever grateful. We could not be more blessed because of you.
You lived a good life - filled with honesty, integrity, and all the love from the ones that were close to you.
Thank you for giving us all a good life, we will miss you always!

I am blessed to Have grandparents for over 40 years. No matter what kind of family drama we all may have though out the years I have always Appreciated and respected what family is all about.
With the passing of a San Pedro Man who came from nothing but in turn poured his own foundation that built a big family And a community. Not a politician like his grandson, but a person that changed City of LA building codes with respect to heights and
Density of properties. Chances are you may live or have lived or know someone who has lived in a Property he built. Or you may have visited or stayed in his iconic hotel or office developments. My grandfather, a world war 2 veteran, active community resident by participated in organizations around town throughout his year was most passionate about cooking every Sunday night for family dinners. During those dinner I would learn of my Dida (grandpa) Mavar's way of saying things also know as mavarisms. He like the spot light, Not in public but front and center when it came to family.
Growing up he was illusive and mysterious and kind. As I grew up we became closer and closer and the more conversations we had I became more humbled and educated. I am proud to carry his name which makes his passing a little easier for me. Love you Dida!
