We will miss the cherished memories you created and nurtured for us Poppa. At last, you are with Momma past those pearly gates. You could never be too far away from her for too long. I know the end was not easy or without suffering, but now you can rest and wait for the rest of us.

We love you.

Hi Dad. In your obituary, I forgot to write down the date of your death, which was 10/27/2025. Which was Marks and mine 41st wedding anniversary. Just 3 months and 3 days after mom passed. I´m sorry I forgot the date. I was flustered and it was hard to write. I cried then and I´m crying now. I choose to remember your laugh and your kindness towards the family. You made sure we all had what we needed. Including way too many donuts ha ha. Remember the time, the great grandkids were coming over and you went to the donut shop and ordered 100 donut holes! We ate everyone of them! You loved your San Francisco Giants and used to dance around every time they got a hit, when we were kids. You gave us wheelbarrow rides and bought us our first ten speeds, you took us on many vacations, showing us different states in our country. I cherish those trips. You would spoil your grandkids every time they came to see you. Giving them money or trinkets. Then you did it again with your great grandchildren. You are missed, but I know you´re having a great time Heaven seeing all your family again. I can´t wait to see you again, it will be in the blink of an eye. Love you!
