It is with deep regret and sorrow, that we acknowledge the passing of our father.
During his lifetime, dad overcame many obstacles but through hard work and determination created a life of great value and inspired those around him.
Born into a simpler but more difficult time, dad knew hard work from a young age and what he lacked in formal education he spent a life-time striving to obtain the knowledge, skills and abilities to accomplish any task and through that, experienced the satisfaction of accomplishment that propelled him forward to the next project.
Dad was an honourable, humble, loyal, private and proud man, who cared deeply for family, friends, his faithful companion “Sheeba” and many other dedicated, loyal four-legged friends that went before him but met him as he left this earthly place.
Words cannot express our gratitude and appreciation for our life together and in particular and most recently, for the opportunity to share those final precious moments with him. We will continue to remember and pray for him, care deeply for him and all that he did to make our lives and us feel special, worthwhile, valued, and strive to live a life he would be proud of.
GOD BLESS YOU DAD!
As we loved you, so we miss you,
In our memory, you are near,
Loved, remembered, longed for always,
Bringing many a silent tear.
