Dad/Papa was a hard working man, a truck driver, who worked long hours and many days. But on his days off, he loved relaxing and watching him a good "shoot-em-up". He was very knowledgeable when it came to the mechanics of things. He loved telling jokes, and having fun with his kids, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.

You taught each and everyone in your family the right way to do things in life. I remember the first time you asked me to help you out at work and without hesitation, I agreed. We spent most of our time together on the road and had many great memories and conversations and I’m so thankful I got the chance to create these special moments with you less

You were the greatest grandfather anyone could ask for. I loved spending time with you as a child. You taught me so much. You taught me how to ride a bike and when I was too scared to walk on my foot ( even though I clearly could) you helped me get over my fear and showed me I can do it). I always loved spending the night over because that would mean I could ride with you to work. I enjoyed your tests of making me guess what was growing on the trees and pointing out the animals to me. When I couldn't go to work with you, I would always get excited when mama said you were home because I knew you would teach me riddles and tricks. You taught me what it meant to be a hard worker, I am where I am because of you and how you showed me what it means to work for what you want in life even when we are faced with barriers. I am hurt that I didn't slow down from work and school to spend more time with you. less
Pops, the one steadfast shinning example of how a man should behave. A teacher/father who guided me whenever I needed direction. A hard worker who never failed to lend a hand or thoughts to a situation.

You will be missed by a multitude of people. How can one not miss a soul who was so passionate about his trade. A man who loved his wife with all his being.
I used to ask, "why did you give me such a big heart"? But that's just who you were. And that's, I'm proud to say, who I am. We hung out until your last day and I just wanted to say thanks for everything. less

Thank you for loving and raising me as your own child. I had the most amazing childhood thanks to you and Mama. I’m sorry for all the heartache I ever put you through and I wish that I can take it all back. You are the perfect example of what a father and a husband should be. You were a protector and a provider and the most hardworking and loving person I will ever know! I love you and miss you dearly please kiss mama for me.
Your baby girl Noni 😔 less
