  2. Gonna miss him as he talked highly of the Kids, Saint John of The Cross, Sandy his pup, and many major accomplishments in his lifetime. Proud to be a U S. Marine and in public service working for others. Loved his family and admired his wife expressing he was one blessed guy with his kids, grandkids, and many other people that crossed his paths. Talked highly of many great people he connected with including the pharmacy team at Mariano’s and always had a great perspective of getting a discount and passing it along to others. Blessings to his family, him, and many others here and in the heavens……
