Loving, best friend and caregiver, I never wanted for anything, he took such good care of me. He did everything for me.

We loved being with our friends and family, cooking eating dancing wine tasting live music the lake and boating

We loved to travel making it to Italy, Portugal and Greece. Time shares to Colorado all over California, Tahoe and visiting my Mom, Sister and Brother in Florida

He was crazy funny and loved playing games with friends and family

Just spending time, the two of us watching movies and dancing around the living room together.

He was a devoted son and father
