He was preceded in death by his Mom, and Dad, and Brother Ronald "Ronnie" and numerous Aunts, Uncles, and Cousins. He absolutely loved his family. He would always do anything possible to help anyone, no matter how far out of his way he had to go to do it, literally crossing multiple state lines when necessary. He always had a smile, and loved to laugh and make other people happy. They raised a lot more kids than just the kids they had. They let a lot more people live with them over the years than we could keep count of. He was the best daddy, husband and grandpa anyone could ever ask for, and will be missed more than words can say.
