On Monday, October 13 - one week after Dad's 86th birthday - a group of
friends and family gathered to lay his ashes to rest with his mother and
father and older brother in Johnstown, Pennsylvania. It was an
incredibly beautiful, warm fall day.
The Reverend Mr. Roland Catterall of the First Presbyterian Church of
Johnstown presided. Family members offered remembrances and shared
special hymns, and a special recording of Gounod's Sanctus was played.
Post #155 of the VFW performed the military rites.
