His daughter, Peace wishes to add “My Father had many lessons and values that he passed down to all of us throughout our lives, but what I hold closest to me is his constant reminder to always respect and love one another.” His grandson Gabe says, “my Opa did a great job taking care of me and I will see him again in Heaven.”
