The stories, the joy, the friendship that was shared will not be forgotten. To let him how he touched their lives, and what he meant to them before he left this world was an honest and true blessing to him. We would also like to thank the angles from the VNA Hospice who treated our family as they would their own. He was as tough as a boiled owl, every accolade he earned.
