Dad was always strict but fear. He was very playful and loved scaring us with frogs and lizards, but every night he made us have worship (Devotion) and when it came to story time Dad made the stories in the bible seemed like an adventure, but little did we know he was teaching us God's word and mission. Dad is a true servant for the lord. He would minster to anyone that came in his path. 

Dad, we will miss your smile, words of spiritual wisdom and daily prayers you offered up for us. Go with God, Go in Peace, we will always love and miss you.
