Loving father, grandfather and great grandfather. Loving companion of Karen X. McGuire.
Preceded in death by his wife, Betsy, his brother, sisters, and his parents.

The words of wisdom comforted me many times. He has shown me the truth, pointed me in the right direction, and walked me down the path. I will forever keep him alive in my heart and mind. Thank You Grandpa for the lessons and guidance you provided for me. I love you forever!

I loved my Grandpa. He was truly an American Hero, as well as my own personal one. I'm lucky to have been able to call him my Grandfather, and can only hope I live my life as well as he did. RIP, Grandpa.
