The family would like to thank the lovely staff at the Skilled Nursing Facility in Mt. Mesa for their loving care, compassion and their friendship during his stay there. You were all his favorites. We would also like to thank the Hospice caregivers during Dad žs last days.
Dad requested no services and in lieu of flowers he would want you to donate to the charity of your choice.
