To my dearest friends,

From the bottom of my heart, I want to thank you all for your outpouring of support during this difficult time. As you know, being a Rotarian has been a big part of my life and giving back to the veteran's community is my way of thanking all the wonderful people who served our country. I feel a deep gratitude for veterans as my Grandfather served in WW1, my Uncles in WW2, my father in the Korean War, and other family members participated in the Vietnam war and beyond. Through all the many hours of service, be it as an essential worker during Covid or checking on the mental state of my fellow workers and my community, my loving and supportive wife continued to be my rock and supporter. 

My wife stood out in the way she led her life with her kindness toward family as friends and pure heart. She fought her cancer for years bravely and is for me and others - our hero.

To my special Rotarians, I wore a Rotary face mask at my wife’s service as Rotary Nation was with me locally and elsewhere; I felt your support... I love you all.  Your impact on me and my family is immense.   All of you my dear family and friends, immeasurable thanks.

Thank you to the Healy and McLellan families for starting GoFundmes..  All the flowers and cards, the meals, presents and your attention.  I am to say the least humbled and grateful.
