By Mark A. Leon
Rest in peace sweet bearded angel
You gave love with your kind words
Laughter with your undeniable zest for life
Friendship with an extended arm to the world
The Lord’s hand will guide you to rest in your eternal home
With outstretched arms, you welcomed us
A light-footed wizard on the dance floor
An orator of the times
Documentarian of friendship
A gentle soul
A guiding light
A beacon of wisdom
Never without a smile
With unconditional acceptance, you wove a blanket to cover our fears, shield our worries and warm our spirits
Words cannot illuminate the magnitude of your impact; yet you graced us with your stories
A blessing send from above
Faith by your side
A path of kindness as your shepherd
With your smile, you shined
A man, husband, father, friend, an inspiration
You leave a legacy of a lifetime of delicate humanity so few will ever match
Decency without judgement
Humble grace
A servant to goodness wrought with affection
Your charity fed our hearts
Your decency gave us hope
The world is a better place now
For this, we will never forget
