We lost a great human being last Wednesday. He will be greatly missed. He will leave quite a legacy that would be very difficult to follow. If there is one word to describe Dad it would have to be love ❤️. He was the most kind hearted, loving, genuine and funny people I have had the pleasure and honor to have known. All I have to say now is " slow down Curly. No need to rush. You have completed your journey well. You did a great job and Thank you. We love you Dad
