He was a highly trained and respected service technician and could ''fix anything but a relationship''. He had many friends from all over the world and he never met a stranger. He sacrificed countless hours of his time for anyone in need. What was most important to him were his girls. He was the proudest Daddy! If you ever asked him what his accomplishments in life were, he would say, ''My Girls''. He was fortunate enough to meet Dee, the love of his life, to complete his story. He is going to be missed by all that had the privilege of meeting him because he always left a lasting imprint on your heart.
