Idele became a very important part of our lives over 50 years ago. Through the years we have laughed together and shed a few tears together. I will always remember him as the man who was always there for his friends no matter what.

Idele my heart is broken. A piece of me left with you. You were everything to me, my friend, my rock, my brother. I will always love you and I know the feeling was mutual. If I could play the song "I Will Always Love You" then I know I would see that big grin, your smile and your heart. I am so thankful for that lasting bond we shared. God has you and you are at peace, but so many of us will go on missing you today and always.

Idele, My heart is broken hearing the news of your passing. You were such a fun, kind, caring and genuine person. You treated everyone fairly and would give the shirt off your back to anyone that needed it. I will always remember how much fun we had at Rockin' the Hills. You always treated me like another one of your kids. Although I haven't seen you in many years, I enjoyed interacting with you and keeping in touch on Facebook. The world will certainly be a bit more dim without you in it. My thoughts go out to your kids, grandkids and family during this difficult time.
