He had a passion for fishing, collecting classic cars and submerging his feet in the white sand at the beach. He was a devoted father and would bend over backwards to lend a hand. He was looked up to in his neighborhood, he would always have his garage door open which basically meant, “Come on in”. His smile would lift your spirits up no matter what you were going through. He will be missed greatly but now everyone has a Guardian Angel for life that will fly so high beyond our sight, but he will always look down upon us.
