November 1, 2021 we arrived in Punta Cana on his 53rd birthday, we were celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary, one month later, he was hospitalized for Covid pneumonia,
Before Christmas, the doc said he might be home for Valentine’s Day,
almost 2 months later, he took up permanent residency in Heaven,

I marvel at how someone so unassuming, so humble, who preferred to be under the radar, content to be known as Shari’s husband, who preferred to listen rather than talk, could have a presence so large it fills the whole room and magnetizes so many people because of the ENERGY he exuded, his welcoming smile, the twinkle in his eye and love for laughter, and the unconditional LOVE and acceptance of all people,
he loved even those who wronged him, he Saw the best in everyone and fiercely loved his wife and 3 kids, to know him was to know JOY, he made your hardest day more bearable, he always expected good things to come, and never lost faith or hope even to the very end…
