He fought the good fight of kidney failure for over 7 years, he will be missed by all his family and all of his friends. Everybody will remember this kind, gentle soul who is a little speedster on his motor wheelchair. He was one to always make you laugh no matter how hard your day has been. He might have given you a hard time himself during his final days, but he always made sure that you knew everyone was loved no matter how stubborn he may have considered himself. You may not have been my biological father, but you accepted me as if I was your own. I will forever and always love you and miss you dearly. You can now rest in peace.
