Beloved husband of Marica.
Dearly loved and loving father of Brigita and Blaza.
Loved and respected father-in-law of Mark and Seamus.
Cherished 'Deda' of Brielle, Brandon, and Remy.

With tears we watched you suffer,
And watched you fade away,
With courage and concern for others,
You fought so hard to stay,
But God saw that you were weary,
And did what he thought best,
He gently took you in His arms
And whispered come and rest,
We all love you.

Always gentle loving and kind,
What lovely memories you leave behind,
In God's care you rest above,
In our hearts you rest with love.
Love Marica, Brigita and Blaza.
