My husband was a kind and loving man who never met a stranger and always looked out for others. He enjoyed a rich life and spending time with his family and preaching and teaching others about the Bible. He retired from Shell Oil Company and we were happily married for 38 years and he was a loving father, my support, protector, and best friend. I will deeply miss him.
With warmth and love, Peggy & Amin
We feel incredibly blessed to be surrounded by so many friends and family during this sad and stressful time. Your love and prayers have helped soothe our sorrow. My dad was a funny loving and kind soul. In my heart I know he is in a much better place and that his love continues to surround us every day. Thank you for the love and support you have given us. We deeply appreciate it.
With warmth and love, Demetra. Eric, Cole and Mekayla
