My grandfather.
What little family information I have will be replaced later, when I can find his obituary; I know he had several brothers and sisters. I will also add his full obituary.
Served willingly in WWII and earned at least one Purple Heart (I believe it might have been two) and several other medals.
Had a first marriage that ended in divorce; produced two daughters. Married the second time to my grandmother, Doris Mae Hancox (nee Zimmerman). That union produced a son in 1956 and a daughter in 1958 (my mother).
Worked at Knapheide Manufacturing for many, many, many years.
Succumbed to lung cancer days after my mother's 35th birthday and about a month before I turned 7.
Survived by his son Michael, a daughter-in-law Angie, their children Joseph, Adam, and Katie, a daughter Suzi, her daughter Kayleigh and Kayleigh's husband Colin, and two great-grandsons.
I barely remember him. He died far too young at 73, and never got to meet his great-grandsons.
