January 27, 1920- June 24, 2007, was welcomed home by his Lord and Savior after a brief but courageous battle with pancreatic cancer on Sunday afternoon, June 24, 2007.

He leaves behind his wife Genevieve, his son, Mark (Sharon), three grandchildren, Danny, Josh and Lizzie, his daughter and best friend Bonita Corliss and her partner Pamela Wilkins.

Special gratitude goes to Lynn Kefgen, RN, Gwendolyn Roush, MSW, and Kate O'Sulllivan, Chaplain, all of Providence Hospice of Seattle. The family also wishes to express their thanks to the staff at Anderson House and Park West Skilled Nursing Center.

We will miss his loving presence and wonderful sense of humor. As he said at the end of his life "No one has ever come back complaining!"
