This will not be your typical obituary, I lived and worked for my wife, Elaine and two sons, Christopher and Matthew. I knew God had blessed Elaine and I with two sons and they were my responsibility right up until the day I passed.

What I did in life, where I lived, what I liked to do, or what I accomplished won't be mentioned here it's of no importance. Nor will other family members alive or deceased.

What is important is that I provided for my family. Whatever they needed, whatever they wanted to go I supported their decisions and made sure they had the essentials to be happy.

Someone once said if you have one friend in your lifetime you were a lucky man, I had three, Elaine, Chris and Matt.

Someone else said if you want a friend get a dog, I also said if want two friends get two dogs, well I had five dogs over my lifetime, Lady, Cleopatra, Princess, Zeus and Dobby they were my soul mates and provided comfort throughout my life, especially Dobby.

Do not mourn my passing I did what I wanted and did what I thought was right for my wife and sons, I didn't give a damn what others thought about my decisions nor my lifestyle and that was the way I lived.

Solitude, caring for immediately family, and love for Elaine, Christopher and Matthew was my strength. When I needed help I reached out to them. I was always there for them and likewise they were always there for me.

Enough said, what matters to me is this obituary is my own words, no one else's, just the way I want it. No Changes, No Additions, No deletions. Adieu
