You were an integral part of our family. You have always been a wonderful friend, step-father and most importantly, a loving and faithful friend and partner to my mother. I will be forever grateful to you for taking care of my mom. I will never forget you. I will miss all of the stories you would tell and the fun we have had over the years. It was an honor to have known you.
