We rejoice in the knowledge that our dad and grandfather at 88 years of age has finished the journey that the Lord set before him. He walks the streets of gold with Jesus on one hand and his wife of 63 years, Mary Eileene, on the other. On Monday, April 26, 2010, at 5:30 a.m., he passed away peacefully at the El Castillo Retirement Community in Santa Fe.
