The legacy of love he leaves behind includes his wife of 42 years, his sons and daughters-in-law Gary and Priscilla, Rusty and Lulu, daughter and son-in-law Judith and Paul McFarland, brother Berland, daughter-in-love Monica, grandchildren Christian, Caleb, Sunshine due on 9-23-2008, Xavier, Gloria, Vanessa, Aaron, Mathew, Amber, Brittany, Ariel, great grandchildren Dominic, Jaylin and Syriana.
