Eric so very sorry for the loss of your father. You and your family will be in my prayers. No matter our age it’s not easy to lose a parent.
Felician Sisters Carol, Johnna and Susanne, will truly miss their “adopted uncle” and dearest friend. He was a delight in so many ways and a wonderful husband to Zel and father of the two boys he loved deeply. Family was his highest priority. He was a faithful member of St Ann Catholic church, support to the Felician Center, asset to the Kingstree community at large.
He has lived his life as a good and faithful servant.
Eternal rest grant unto him O Lord and let perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace.

May all your cherished memories bring you comfort. Lenny and Bunny
