He was adored by his family and lived an amazing life. For someone born on April Fools Day he was anything but a fool, always had the best stories to tell and had a great way to cheer you up and to help you see the silver lining. He had an incredible outlook on life, and those who love him will never forget his happy “ Chuckle” when telling one of his stories. No one could tell a story like he could. He will be truly missed.
There will be no service, but a “Celebration of Life” will be held at a later date due to Covid.
