In loving memory of my big brother. Who would have thought that our being raised in the Odd Fellows Orphanage would have led both of us to give care to those less fortunate, you with Veterans and young children, me with intellectually challenged young people. Your reputation as a loving, caring and humble husband, father, grandfather, friend and human being says a lot about your ability to put a hard upbringing into the proper perspective. Love you always.Barbara

Words cannot express how sorry I am for the loss of your father and grandfather. I never had the pleasure of meeting him, but could tell by the way all of you talked about him how special he was. My deepest sympathy.
