His proudest moments were teaching others the value of hard work, service, integrity, and honesty. Our beloved husband, father, grandfather, son, brother, uncle, and friend gave us so much and never asked for anything in return. You are a wonderful person. Thank you for all you did for us. You will be deeply missed.
