One of the finest men I have ever known. Uncle Ike never judged and gave sage advice without reservation. To the family we wish that you will be comforted knowing he is resting in the arms of the Lord. Heaven has a new angel.

The kindest, sweetest most decent man i've ever known. Daddy was an inspiration for his three children to be better people. He gave us unconditional love and the security children need when times were difficult. We never never wanted to disappoint him. He never doubted his Faith in God and lived his life according to God's word. I have always been so proud to be his child. I will miss our Sunday lunches. They were special times. I love you always.

The kindest, sweetest, most decent man i've ever known. He never doubted his Faith in God and was an inspiration for his three children to be better people. Daddy gave us unconditional love and the security children need when times were difficult. Without his strength and guidance we would not be the people we are today. We never wanted to disappoint him. I will miss our weekly Sunday lunches. Those lunches meant so much to me. Sunday's will never be the same. I love you always.
