The Timeless Importance of Family

59 Years Of Family

 “All right, even though I am 59 years old, my parents have of course been the most important influence in my life they're the ones that raised me for 18 years and gave me a sense of what is right and what is wrong. The second person probably would be my lovely wife, and you know, when you get a partner in life there and you maintain that partner, that is really influential in the success of those two individual people to love is the key."

Finding Happiness

"I think happiness is really important, and finding ways to be happy because the world around us is difficult, as you know, so we have to search through the darkness sometimes to find the lights, and that takes some doing, that's for sure."

The First

"Family is always number one before anything else before friends before work before the world family comes first so they take care of you and you take care of them, and that's always the focus, and it should be the focus for everybody."
