A family statement: “Our Father was taken suddenly from us and entered into Our Father’s arms to give him rest. He was married to the love of his life Marilyn for almost 50 years. They had a tumultuous love affair which bore 4 children who adored him and admired him for his unyielding strength, his brilliance, his unconditional love and his astonishing creativity. He was a poet, a musician and an artist. He worked hard and instilled the values of hard work and discipline to his children with all the love he knew how to give. He wanted us to be the BEST, to have the BEST and love the BEST. He did everything ‘His Way’ just like Frank Sinatra and he threw the greatest of all parties. His legacy lives on through his grandchildren, his babies as he called them. They were his angels, now he is OURS. Not a moment will go by that we won’t think of him and miss him. Our hearts are truly broken.”
