Who I Am .........

I am 61, 5-11, 185 lbs., Bald/Shaved head, green eyes, goatee. I was born in Lorain, Ohio, on Saturday, July 29, 1961, at 1:24 am to the world’s greatest parents, who have taught me a lot in my life. I had them both. They taught me to love to laugh and have a wonderful time in life, they also taught me the value of the dollar when I wanted to move out when I turned eighteen and I was working for Mickey Mouse at the time. They let me go but wanted to make sure I knew what I was getting into, since I left there, I had never moved back home ever.  I lost my mother, October 11, 1984, and on December 4, 2004, I lost my father, may they Rest in Peace. "I LOVE YOU MOM and DAD. On July 1, 2004, I had a stroke on my left side, it did not leave no damage I thank God for that, it was only a mini stroke but still it scared me in every way I can think of. I try to stay healthy for the most part and I take my heart medication along with my diabetes meds. But today I'm doing good and still going strong, then after that is when I lost my father to a heart attack. I take life to its fullest, never knowing when it's going to be your last day on earth.

I own my own business. in 1992 my business partner, Manny Adams and I bought Hawthorne Funeral Home in Orlando and run that business and bought out his old business partner from Beth Shalom Memorial Chapel which Manny started in 1984. In the late 90's we bought Aldays Casket Company, which is now Cardinal Casket Company and then we also started Sun Casket Company. 

We have since then sold Hawthorne Funeral Home. In 2012 I sold my Interest in Beth Shalom Memorial Chapel to my business partner, so that I can semi-retire here in Fort Lauderdale (Oakland Park area). Since 2014 Christmas time i broke up with my partner of 5 years and now I am single but do miss having that person around the house. But I have my dog (Rosie) to keep me company. I love bowling so I am getting back into after a year laid off due to the fact, I had surgery on my foot where I lost one-half of my big toe. But that's part of life, accidents do happen.

In March 2018, I moved back into my Condo in Pines West, so nice to be back in condominium life. Take life for what it hands me. I sold my Condo and all my properties, so i am just renting for now until I know what I want to do.
