Marine Corps Marathon Race Team 2023

I lost my dear wife Nancy on July 31, 2012, after a 13-year battle with sarcoma.  We were married 35 years including 25 in which I was in the US Army.  She was my rock.  She was a wonderful caregiver and mentor to our soldiers and their families.  She was Mom to our two beautiful daughters.  She was a superb early education teacher.  She was a wonderful person with dozens of lifelong friends.  Despite her courageous battle, her insidious disease kept recurring and recurring, each time taking a little bit more from her.  While I am grateful for those years together, they were incredibly painful and frustrating.  When she died, I cursed God and demanded her back.  I don't want  others to suffer as she did nor other families to endure what we did.  I donate regularly to the Sarcoma Foundation of America in her honor to raise much needed funding for research, education and advocacy.  It is the only non-profit organization focused on this specific disease.  Please support my efforts - donate and share this page!  

Thanks!  And be grateful for every day.
