As many of you know, my father recently fought a grueling battle with esophageal cancer. Dad lost that battle on 2/12/17, putting himself at peace, and leaving a huge hole in the hearts of myself and my family. 

Dad was always a strong man. He was known for his jokes, his hospitality, and his services as a past Grand Knight for the Knights of Columbus. He also served his country in the navy during the Vietnam War.  One thing I will always remember and admire about my father was his willingness to help others. He would drop everything and help family and friends in need. 

It is in this spirit that my family and I humbly ask for your help. 

As many of you are aware, the cost of final services are extremely high. As this disease took dad from us quickly, we had not had time to prepare. We are asking if you are able to, please donate to help us give our pop the goodbye he deserves. Any little contribution is extremely appreciated. 

All our love and deepest thanks, 

The Christian Family.
