My beautiful and wonderful wife of 60 years passed to be with Christ and our late son, Mark. A loving woman, my very best friend, my anchor and rudder in life.

Gloria was active for several years with the California Republican Women and the Interfaith Food Ministry of Nevada County. A lifelong Catholic she loved Our Lord, and was a strong advocate for all children and especially the unborn ...she was the love of my life. Services will be held at St. Patrick's Church in Grass Valley, on Thursday, March 14th. Rosary at 10:30 AM Services at 11:00AM.
