May eternal rest be granted unto him O Lord and let perpetual light shine upon him. I will never for get his laugh and smile, especially as I tried not to step on his toes as we danced the polka at my wedding!
Rest in peace friend.

Dear Michelina, You are in my prayers along with your family. I am sorry I am not there to support you.
The things I think of when I think of your dad are his happy smile, the way he watched the grandchildren with such joy, and how he was always willing to give things to others. Hugs and prayers to all. Love Arlene
