I married my high-school sweetheart in 1963, after graduating the year before from Springs Valley High in French Lick, IN.

From this union, two sons were born: Christopher and Tommy. We now have 5 grandchildren, bringing our lives full circle, complete with retirement and gradually failing health.

Then FindaGrave came into our lives, sparking renewed interests for me and my best friend, in leaving footsteps for our families - starting right here.
