He is an amazing father and grandfather and me and my family are extremely blessed by God to have had him in all of our lives. My dad and my mom Rita have been amazing role models teaching me and my brother Mike what it is like to be good people who puts helping others first. They have taught us so much in life and we would not be the people we are today without them. Happy birthday, Dad.
