He loved to be loved and returned it. He always had a joke or something funny to share. He adored his grandchildren and was very proud of his children. He has touched a lot of people in his short life, especially the people he used to be friends with when he was a child that he has reconnected with on Facebook. He is now with his father, whom he loved very much, watching over his entire family. The funeral will be on March 27, 2010, at Divine Mercy Catholic Church, 1940 N.
