He always brought up about how my brother (Terry) & myself (Ray) had woke him up while he was on leave be sticking marches between his toes & lighting them. He still remembered every time I talked to him. Love him so much.
He will be missed so much by family & friends. HELL OF MAN!!!!
I had not seen Russell (my 1st cousin) in 20 years and Im so happy that Shana connected us and I was able to let him know That I always loved him. I will remember him with that big grin he nearly always had on his face and that he made me laugh and smile. My first memory of “Cuz” was as a tot. My parents took me to a bowling alley where he was working as a pin setter. He was just a young teen and I heard my parents saying he wasnt working for spending money, he was working to help with groceries, etc at home!!! Most of my time with “Cuz” was whenever we were at my Grandpas home, off and on. And The handsome young Marine came to Grandpas when he got back from Korea. And oh yes, he was a jokester, with a wicked sense of humor which I adored. He loved his extended family but once he had his own children he was devoted to his work and family, so we were mostly apart. But love never dies.
My sweet dad. If I had to pick one memory to share, it would be how you would come visit me at work all the time! Everyone knew who you were and loved you so much 💜 I'm so thankful we were able to dance in October. Keep an eye on us, I'll do my best to make you proud.
Sandy, you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. We are so sorry for your loss.

One of my favorite memories of my dad is when he would show up (unannounced) all the time when I worked at St John Medical Center. He would usually bring a coffee and just wanted to say hi :) he was the best dad and I am so lucky to have had him.
