He loved visiting them and had a special bond with them. In 2016, he moved to the Chicago area and loved to travel to California. He was a free-spirited person, adventurous, and always wanted the best for all his children and family. He had a strong character and was set in his ways but was kind and was always willing to help everyone. In his younger years, he did not mind driving long distances to help anyone in need. He was daring and was never afraid to take on life’s challenges.

He touched many people's lives, especially his niece Linda, who he loved as a daughter. He was very affectionate to all his nephews and nieces.
