His life was characterized by being a hardworking and honest man. Always helping his family and everyone else in need. His faith strengthened him in his final years to be the husband and father we will always remember with great affection.
Unfortunately, he struggled with Alzheimer's disease over the last 10 years, when for his safety and well being he was admitted to Villages of Sandalwood Park, Long Term Care Facility where his wife, children and closest siblings had the opportunity to watch over him daily. He always showed peace and serenity to accept his disease until his last breath.
For which we are always grateful to God and the medical staff of Villages of Sandalwood Park.
