On Thursday morning, June 27, 2019 an angel quietly whispered to our beloved father, grandfather and great grandfather, it's time that you come join your wife, parents, and oldest son. Your time here on earth has expired and a place in Heaven has opened up for you. Your wife has enjoyed Heaven for four years and eight months and is ready for you to be with her.
