Although his jobs kept him away from my mother and us when we were growing up, my father always made time with us. A disciplinarian always telling us to be good not just good but prove to everyone that no matter how small the task is when you do it, do it right. A bit of perfectionist. Our father was also a good singer and dancer. Whenever there was an occasion he was always asked to sing or dance. He is and will always be the best father, provider, giver, son, brother, uncle, grandfather, godfather, father-in-law, teacher and a man who loved and feared the Lord.
