Our family has lost a very special man. His infectious laugh, and bright smile always brightened a room. His devotion to Nana, and to all of us was amazing. Si, you will be missed, but never forgotten. Your memory will always be with us. Thank you for everything you did for us, but most importantly, thank you for making my Nana happy.
