Christine, Please accept my sincere condolence, upon learning of DJ's passing. I met you a couple of years ago at Kenny's house, when you and Snapper was in for a visit. DJ had a lot of friends back here in Ohio, and he will be remembered by all of his buddies. Take care of yourself, stay strong..............Gary Helt

Having served honorably in the Vietnam War, our description of Snapper is a brave, great, and gentle man. He will always be remembered for his wonderful smile and his ability to keep an extremely positive attitude through all types of situations. He was always so welcoming and a great host to family members who visited their home in Florida. We have very fond memories of those visits as well as the first time that Snapper and Christine brought Josh to our home in WV for a visit, Snapper repairing an air-conditioner in a hotel room we stayed at in Florida, and the gift of fresh fruit that he sent every year at Christmastime. We love Snapper, and he will live on in our hearts. We extend our deepest sympathies, prayers, love, and hugs to Christine, Josh, and Snapper's immediate family.
Love & prayers, Mom, Rosemary & Pat
