I cannot pen enough words on this page to tell the world how precious and amazing this sweet man was. Kind , generous, strong and proud. He loved his family and his country. I have thanked God many times for sending him to our mom and our family & will forever be grateful for the time we spent with him and the memories I now have to cherish. I lovingly nicknamed him Pops because he held a place in my heart as a second daddy. Will miss you terribly but I know I will see you again one day in beautiful Heaven.
