A week ago, he was unfortunately a victim of a serious assault which left him with head injuries which were so severe he could not recover from them. He lit up any room he walked into and was a bubbly, joyful soul. I will cherish the memories of us going to concerts together and singing karaoke. I'll love and miss you always Dad."
