From his great character and integrity to his years of guidance and strong work ethic, he had made a difference in so many lives of family, friends and acquaintances.

His family will cherish the warmth of his smile and laughter, open hearted generosity, knowledge of what it truly means to experience unconditional love and all-embracing acceptance.
