Buddy was a wonderful cousin. We spoke many times on the phone and I enjoyed hearing about his family and interests, especially the Marines. He was a very good, generous and hardworking person. He life was well lived and served as a Christian model for all to see and exemplify. Rest in Peace, dear cousin. The Chu Family

I enlisted in the Marines at a young age,me 17 Hank 19, lost a child at a young age, had long lasting marriages, strong CATHOLICS, lived up to the MARINE CORPS Motto Semper Fi, Always Faithful,and both worked for a telephone company I enjoyed listening to stories of his childhood,Marine Corps adventures and current events. I will miss my loyal great Marine friend. Rest in peace Marine.

Rest In Peace my friend. It was always a joy to bring the Eucharist to your home. Now you sit at the Heavenly banquet feast of our Risen Lord. Thanks you for your distinguished military service and for a life so well lived. Your good and holy soul remains a model Christian life for all of us privileged to know you. May you enjoy eternal rest.
