Words cannot express how much your presence is missed. Your voice was unmistakable as it would bring light to a dark room. Your sense of humor and wit was always on target. The friendship and comradery given to all who had the pleasure to call you a friend was an unselfish gift of yourself. We were proud to have called you Son, Husband, Father, Grandfather, and Friend. May you rest in eternal peace as I can already picture you fixing wings of Angels. You will forever be missed.

Preston is survived by his wife Mal, son Jason, daughter in law Ana, and grandson Noah.
