It is with great sadness that I penned these words. Regrettably, I didn’t have the chance to meet you in person. I wish I did! Having talked to you on the phone and I realized how great of a person you were; a son, a brother, a loving and caring husband. Courtesy of your beloved wife, Mitchell. Your kindness, and humility stands out, your memories will forever be alive in our hearts. I hate to say this this; but “Why is it that good and decent people are taken too soon”.Fair winds and following seas; rest in perpetual peace my dear brother.

I am lost for words. Those closest to you, should have never felt the pain of losing you Ditto, leaving this world. It pains me bro, you encompass love, joy, laughter, good vibes. I remember our days of high school and hanging out in Anna’s Hope, all I remember is laughter, some laughter, and more laughter. How can your love ones get that taken away? Father God, just like my real brother Ricardo, Ditto going home to you was a stab to the hearts of all who knew Ditto. I ask Father God that you make it better, emotionally as well as spiritually. Give strength especially to his wife & immediate family who are aching. Jesus Christ please cover them. Sleep in God’s loving memory, until that day of resurrection my friend.
