Thanks in advance for visiting my mom, Florence, and my dad, Joe. I'm very appreciative to all that leaves flowers for them.

I'm a native Rhode Islander and retired Navy Chief Petty Officer who enjoys searching the local cemeteries for Find-A-Grave requests, creating memorials and transcribing when I find the time. I normally fulfill requests from Rhode Island Veterans Cemetery, Highland Memorial Park Cemetery in Johnston, RI, and most of the cemeteries in Coventry and West Warwick, RI.

PLEASE NOTE: For those who submit frequent photo requests—particularly when conducting research—please do not include a spouse or additional individual in the notes of a single request as a workaround for Find A Grave's monthly request limits.

If you would like a photo for a spouse or another person, please submit a separate request for that individual.

I understand that Find A Grave limits the number of requests that can be made each month; however, those limitations do not change how I fulfill requests. I will not upload photos to memorials that were not directly requested, and I ask that my photos not be copied and added to other memorials.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

I also use the "Coventry Knight" (FAG member 51743387) handle for my Knights of Columbus council in researching and honoring former members and their families.

If you find a memorial I have created for a loved one or a friend, just ask me a transfer, and I'll be glad to do it. I find Find-A-Grave to be a terrific resource for genealogy and even better, a wonderful way to honor my family members and friends who have gone home to Our Lord.
