His leadership and encouragement paved a road of careers for his sons, brothers, newphews, and grand children.

He was a protector to those he loved. His smile would light up a room and his laugh was contagious. His sense of humor and funny sayings like "remember the tacos" will live on.

There is none like him and he will be truly missed.
