for his beloved cat, Dae, who was a cherished companion in his life.
His memories will live on through his siblings: Ethlene, Eudora, Eddington,
Wellington, Francis, Simone, Monica, Gabriel, Ross, Denise, and Denise and
Claudia. He leaves behind a legacy of love and warmth, touching the lives
of numerous nieces, nephews, sisters-in-law Ethel Charles and Leatha
Saunders, cousins Gemma, Samuel, Glenda, and Lauren, mother-in-law
