"I will always remember him as the Uncle from my youth. At family gatherings he stood out to me, not just because of his tall frame but because he was boisterous as well. He was eager to laugh and tease. That memory of him will stay with me forever. My sincerest condolences to all during such a sad time. "
In loving memory of
