If you knew him, I know that he left a memory with you. He was definitely a character and could make anyone laugh. He was very competitive and had the strength of an army. He loved outdoor BBQ, and scratching his lottery tickets which he was lucky one. He was excellent in many sports, football and basketball to say the least. Playing his music in his car from the Buick to Monte Carlo was something he enjoyed. He wanted to be outside. He could sit and talk with anyone and dance like no other. He fought long and hard and that is why today we will celebrate!
