For all those who knew our dad know he was a man of few words. He was a strong, hardworking, kind, gentle man who loved his children. Not with hugs or kisses or I love You’s but with his generosity, his patience and his forgiveness. We don’t realize as kids how much our parents sacrifice for us until we have our own children. All the time and energy and hard work they put into making sure we are safe and secure, providing all our needs and more. So we thank you mom and dad for being our parents and for always being there for us. The one thing we admire most about our dad was the way he treated, adored, and cherished our mother. They just had their 59-year marriage anniversary. Their granddaughter nicknamed them the twins because they were inseparable. We give God all the praise and glory for the blessing of witnessing the love the joy and the appreciation they shared for one another for so many years. A man who worked hard who provided for his family who gave his all and never complained just believed in giving all he had to those he loved. I thank the LORD who blessed us with this father who we called DAD, We will always be grateful and honored to have been his children. I would also like to take this opportunity to give a special Thanks to their guardian Angel their granddaughter Valarie. Who has gone above and beyond to make sure they had every need taken care of and was always there for them. She was a tremendous blessing to them both. We pray the LORD will bless her in a mighty way. Our dad will truly be missed. He will be forever and always in our hearts in our thoughts and cherished in our memories. Please keep our family in your thoughts and prayers and may GOD bless you all.
