We are honored to share a little bit about this amazing man we call Dad and Grandpa.......
Dad was a very passionate, confident and gracious person who truly loved his family beyond words. His giving heart was always wanting to see his family taken care of and his daily prayers were always for our best in the faithful promises of the Lord. And oh how he loved his grandchildren! The love and pride he felt for each one of them is immeasurable.
There was also a very "spunky" side of Aubrey. He was very intelligent and would love to share his perspective and enjoyed a challenging debate. Time was of no essence, it could last for hours and usually did! He was blessed with a wonderful sense of humor as well. Oh the dad jokes, he kept them alive!
Each one of us is rejoicing for where he is now. He is surrounded by a love greater than words can describe. The love of his savior, Jesus. It is where he couldn't wait any longer to be.
We love you Dad. We love you Grandpa. You are so greatly loved and we was miss you so very much!
Family graveside service was be held Monday at Riverside Cemetery, Columbus, OH.
