smile and cheerful disposition. He never complained and let others know he
was in need of any kind. He was a devoted husband, father, grandfather,
great-grandfather and volunteer, as well as a hero for our country. A
very patriotic man, he considered his 21 years of service in the U.S. Navy
and the three wars he served in (WWII, Korea, Vietnam) to be a great honor
in his lifetime. A man of great resolve, he and Grandma decided many years
ago how they would like final arrangements made. Many of you have asked
about sending arrangements or doing something for the family and we are
deeply grateful. Therefore, if you would like to make a donation to one of
two charities supporting wounded soldiers returning home that would make
him the most proud. The two charities are the Wounded Warriors Project;
donations can be made online at
https://support.woundedwarriorproject.org
or Operation Homefront which has a local chapter supporting soldiers and
their families in our communities, donations can be made at
http://www.operationhomefront.net/kentucky/default.aspx. Thank you for
your acts of love and kindness toward our family during this time of loss
and reflection. A memorial service to be held at a later date.
