He lived his life to the fullest and touched so many people during his time here with us.
My dad was totally selfless, innocent, straightforward, always helping the needy and less fortunate. He was so gentle full of love and kind to human being, ever so rich and magnanimous in all his personality and his being.
First and foremost he was the family man. Totally devoted to his family, he loved his family profoundly, strove to support and guide and most importantly, protect his family members old and young.

He was always cool and cheerful, giving us confidence making us strong-willed, always helpful and understanding. ALL the good words that I can't express.
He passed his day-to-day life very easily never worried about the future.
We, his children and grandchildren should follow his footsteps.
My lovely & respectful pappa. May dad's soul rest in peace. |
