J.W.M.
9/5/1935 - 10/21/2011
On Saturday evening, following a fun day in Washington DC, and stopping for dinner on the way home, I received the phone call that we all dread. My father was gone. It was very unexpected. On Sunday, I flew half way across the country to meet with my siblings and to make arrangements. Services are scheduled for Friday and I plan to return home on Sunday.
My father was a good man - a family man. He served his country, family, and friends with honor and pride. He will be greatly missed. Our entire family still vacationed together on a regular basis. Although he officially retired in 1991, he worked tirelessly for many associations and organizations. We learned today that one of the associations is sending a corporate jet with seven company officers for the services on Friday.
Always in my heart.....Sunny
