He was a loving husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather. He loved Nascar and Notre
Dame Football. The hardest working man we have ever met. He wasn't just a hero for his
country, he was a hero to our family. He is now able to rest and reunite with all who passed
before him, the wife he missed so deeply and the son who left us way too soon. He will be
greatly missed by all who knew him. We love you more than any words could express, Pops!!
