A special thanks to all his caregivers these past 6 months, who saw to his comfort and care and made sure he completed his therapy sessions. He often amused them with his sense of humor and playful bantering with his son.
His final evening was spent surrounded by family, who gathered in prayer and thanks for the life he spent giving of himself and never asking for anything in return. He will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.
