My mom and my dad greatly influenced my life!  I was shaped and molded by their values, priorities and passions!

When Ann came into my life, I got more than I asked or hoped for and much more than I deserved!

God richly blessed me with two wonderful children, David and Laurie!  Both of them are married and each has a little boy!  Becoming a 'grandpa' is one of life's richest experiences for me personally.  My two grandsons, Aiden and Cole are the next generation!

Before my daughter gave birth to my grandson, Cole, she had experienced two miscarriages.  The odds of her getting pregnant or carrying a baby to term were very slim.  Cole is our miracle baby!  I wrote, "Searching For A Rainbow!", a collection of poems about her positive attitude during a very difficult period in her life!  She was strong and a wonderful example of a positive, uplifting attitude during some very difficult days.
