His hands were gifted-whether he was cooking, cutting hair, fixing computers, or helping someone in need. He was very thoughtful and prided himself with his family connections and knowing our history.

In Rochester, he was known as a true hustler in the most loving sense-resourceful, determined, and always finding a way.

He loved fishing, music, and being surrounded by family. He ran NA meetings in his building and stayed active in his community until illness made it difficult. Even through life's challenges, he tried to be there for everyone. His heart was big, his presence unforgettable, and his love for his children and family was unwavering.

To know him was to love him. He was everyone's favorite uncle - not just an uncle by blood, but by spirit, humor, and heart. His legacy will live on in the stories, laughter, and love he shared so freely.

He will be deeply missed and forever remembered.
