He was a great father, son, brother, grandson, uncle and friend. For me he was my soulmate. Through good times and bad he was my rock and my safe place. He was my person. We made three beautiful daughters whom he loved more than anything in the world. I am and will forever be proud of the man that he became. Words from his sister Julie..."He was an effortless figure in our lives, always freely giving a smile, a helping hand and an ear to listen. He was our pillar.
