Daddy was honored by everyone who knew him, especially by his children throughout his life. His decision expressed to us, was to not have a traditional service. His only request was to have his ashes joined with his beloved bride. So we will honor his wishes and have our own intimate family gathering at a later date. We appreciate your kind words, sentiments and prayers through this time.
