Born in 1944 in Schenectady, NY. Moved to Shaker Hts, OH where I attended High School. Served Church mission in Colorado 1963-1965. Graduated from BYU in 1969. After serving in the US Army and several other careers, I worked for 20 years for Salt Lake Community College as a full time computer technician in the daytime and a part time math teacher in the evenings. After I retired, I served in the Salt Lake City Family History Library two days a week for two years. Then when my wife, Peggy, retired, we were called by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to serve an eighteen month mission in the Philippines 2015-2017. One of our projects in the Philippines was to photograph Filipino graves and post them on Find a Grave. My goal was 100,000 memorials and we added over 126,000. I have no known realtionship to any of the individuals I added in this time period.

Some of them were added during a software glitch at Find a Grave in which photos transcribed were erroneously added to incorrect memorials. I strive to correct these as I am notified of the errors. If you see a memorial of one of your people that I show as buried in the Philippines, please send me the memorial number of the incorrect memorial and of the correct one so I can correct the error.

Thanks to the Find a Grave Community for much of the transcribing.

I want to explain how my 126,000 + Philippine memorials came about. My wife and I served a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, in the Philippines between November 2015 and April 2017 in which we assembled a team to photograph markers in Philippine cemeteries. We gathered over 126,00 photographs and uploaded them to Find a Grave. The photos were then transcribed by another group of my friends in the US as well as by other FAG volunteer transcribers. The only information that I have for these memorials is the information in the actual photos along with the cemetery location with which they were uploaded. We returned to Utah in April 2017 and the only information I have must be read from the photographs.
