Dad, you taught us many things growing up- how to fish, camp, build and fix things.  The most important, which we learned through your actions, was to have integrity, patience, tolerance and to always be there for your family.   Your presence was formidable but your heart was gentle and loving.  Thank you for us – we will love you always.

Visitation will be at 12 noon and Memorial Mass to begin at 1 p.m., St. Ann's Church, 608 E Railroad St., Warren, Illinois on Saturday, May 22.

In lieu of flowers, we ask that donations be made to the Chicago Police Memorial Fund: https://give.cpdmemorial.org or
