March 23, 2024 was a beautiful, sunny morning.
It started like most mornings: our dad would walk to the end of his driveway, pick up the Saturday star, read the paper while enjoying his coffee and breakfast.
Then, it was his time to leave this earth on his new journey to heaven. Marlene, his loving wife (our mother), they had been together 70 years, and she was the last person he saw.
How perfect. He also has 4 wonderful daughters, Brenda (Norm), Heather (Tom), Lori (Terry), and the late Karen (Dan).
He has 6 amazing grandchildren, Hailey, Amy, Alannah, Keegan, Briana and Jenna; and 2 awesome great-grandsons, Tommy and Cruz.

Wishing you love and positive energy on your new adventure, until we are all together again. Godspeed!.
