He embraced them as his own, offering steady support, kindness and guidance.
He was a proud grandfather to Matthew Donovan and fiancée Adaria Watson; Colin and Ava Hermengildo; and Ethan and Caden Tabares. He was also blessed with two great-grandchildren; Aaliyah Demenezes and Grayson Donovan, who brought him immense joy.
