Our family would like to express our sincere thanks to everyone who showed their sympathy during the loss of our loved one. To those of you who called, visited, sent flowers, cards, memorial contributions and prayers – you’ll never know how much your words meant to us.

My dad will be greatly missed by our family. Not a day will go by that he won’t be thought of as a loving son, husband, dad and grandpa. He will live on forever in our hearts and in our wonderful memories.
