My deepest condolences to all that loved him. He was my go to guy at the Brimley and Eglinton Liquor Store back in the day. We saw each other quite often back then. He always had a smile fit me and made me laugh. My heart breaks for his family and friends. Much too young to be gone.

It is hard for me to explain what dad meant to me in words, because he was so much of everything really. He's Dad, my best friend, someone I could count on anytime or talk to. He was always a great listener and the one who could make me laugh. I will forever cherish the time we had together. And yes, that time was shortened, but he somehow managed to make it feel like a lifetime.
Dad will live on in my heart forever.
I will miss him every day for as long as i live
