His compassion for others and his selfless nature endeared him to many, creating an indelible mark on the lives he touched.

Left to honor his memory and cherish his legacy are his three brothers, three sisters, five stepdaughters, 29 step grandchildren, 3 step great-grandsons, as well as many loving nieces, nephews, cousins, extended family members, and friends.
