Wow….what a legacy he left. I read this and see an amazing family that will keep his memory alive for generations. I did not know him but I do know his daughter Tina. I am sure she is a reflection of him…and with that said I can only imagine he was a wonderful, kind, hardworking person….with a great sense of humor.
