Our father was a man of morals and respect of which he instilled on to us which were; you have to earn respect to get respect, family never fights against one another and always sticks together, never go down without a fight and never give up. He would take the shirt off his back to give it to you if you needed it. He was very compassionate and had a heart of gold. He loved fiercely! He was a father figure to many that were not of his own. He was also known by everyone as the man that always had his ''peine''. He was passionate about Kung Fu and karate movies, in addition to Godzilla and King Kong. Growing up we always looked forward to the weekends because we would go to Blockbuster and rent movies and pick up Grandpa's Pizza on the way home. He had a love for Stacey Adams, Chevy cars and oldies. As he grew older he loved to play poker on the weekends with his family. Our father was a fighter! He fought till his last breath and made sure to make it to his 53rd anniversary with our mother. He will truly be missed by all who loved him and will never be forgotten.
