Though you have left us too soon we have comfort knowing that you were so happy that day enjoying your family and smiling saying goodbye. It has been said that the best dads get promoted to “PAPO” and daddy you have exceeded that, And though you have left us too soon we know you have become a guardian angel to the kids and this family. His greatest joy was all his grandkids and his family. He loved telling us about current events, jokes, sports, and his stories of life. We are all heartbroken right now that we lost our PAPO, our dad, husband, brother, and uncle. But we know that this is not goodbye but see you later because we will meet again in God’s garden. It’s time for you to rest with God and have your coffee every day as you sit in heaven watching over us. Love you Dad!!
