In Remembrance

My father passed away, at the age of 77, on September 11, 2010, due to complications from diabetes. He was born on Oct. 27, 1932, and was the seventh child of nine children.
He served in the US Army from 1953 to 1955 and was stationed in France. My father loved being a father and grandpa, supporting the local 4-H program, sharing stories about the past, wood working in his garage constructing new things (cherished items include a cradle and rocking horse for his grandchildren), and going to coffee with his pals every morning. He will be deeply missed by all.
