This is my father. He was such an amazing man. He did a lot in his 80 years of being here. Took in children and raised them as his own. My 2 brothers and I were 3 of those children he adopted. His wife, my mom and him did such an amazing job raising children. It was their passion. Our hearts are broken over this so we just ask for peace and love.
