Not enough words in my vocabulary, to explain all this man was in my eyes. Strong,funny, many skills... exemplary GI, smart caring shroud business man, master at cards baccarat and games of chance, and a hypnotist! Devoted husband. Dedicated father. Strict, disciplined, but loving and caring. He lived and enjoyed life. I thank you Mr Villa for welcoming me into your family...you leave a void in my heart.
