Background
Many of our father‘s friends and family members have requested where to send flowers and or donate funds for, and/or on behalf of him.
With a lot of talks, and guidance from many of you, we feel this will be the perfect way he would want it.
Anyone that ever met him, knows how caring, loving and giving he was to anyone, and everyone that needed it.
Whether it was his time with a long talk, a hug, a helping hand, or anything he could give of himself, he would and did.
Most of you also know, he grew up in a children’s home. Because of this, his heart was always more towards children that had a need of love, support, and family. He built a family and legacy that he did not quite have through his parents, but did have through his loving brothers and sisters by birth, and his brothers and sisters at the children’s home he grew up in.
He and I had many talks about his past, and he would tear up often, Thinking about his loss of a traditional home and family, but especially his gain through his loving experience at the orphanage.
Over the years, I’ve spoken to, and met many of his friends he grew up with, and they are all great people which he cherished their friendship.
He also gave his affection and love towards all of his friends he made after that, just as if he knew them from his childhood.
As the goal for this is reached, a small portion will be used for some remaining funeral expenses, and the majority of this will go to his favorite children’s home of recent located in Tampa Florida in his name. Contribute
