He loved his family dearly- especially his grandkids. He was a hard worker and taught his family what having a good work ethic means. He always put 200% effort in everything he did. He believed in doing everything right the first time. A crooked fence was unacceptable. He was stubborn and wanted everyone to think he was tough but we all know how kind and generous he was. He always helped his neighbors when he could. He taught us all of the good things about family, love and second chances. If you threw away your second chance, you might not have got another one. He will be missed so much. Survivors include his wife Dee, his kids Alyssa & Nick, Lisa, Michelle, Jaimee & Barry. Grandchildren Liam, Adriana, Avery, Jack, Dean, Logan & Owen.
