Heard many of stories of his service from his brothers. Married to his niece Maureen. The family always kept him in their memories especially on Holidays. It is good to know he is finally going to his final resting place with loved ones. He and his family can finally rest in peace.

The finding of this serviceman will give other families hope. He was a special Purple Heart Recipient. I am fortunate to have come upon this notice.
