I would just like to say goodbye from all if the family that was left out of the obituary. His two daughters Catherine and Patricia. His three granddaughters Stacy, Amanda, and Tricia. And his nine great grandchildren ages 1 year to 22 years. We love you and wish we could have seen you before you went to heaven.
