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.

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.
