Raised in Tribute:
$10.30My dad was born in October of 1955. He passed away on May 28, 2021 at age 65. His life was definitely too short, but it was also lived to the fullest and was filled with love.
He was incredibly funny. He had a remarkable talent of being able to make people laugh with only a few words. I remember him most for his very kind heart and his ability to show love even when times were hard. No matter what, his family was always most important to him. He loved fishing and working on his large garden of vegetables in the summer time. He loved his four children- Nicholas, Alec, Jonathan and Genevieve (me). Most of all, he loved my mom, Mary. She helped him through his battle with Parkinson's, and she cared for him in his final years and days. They were absolute soulmates, and they were married for 38 years.
His loss is still felt every day. We will love him always.
