A native North Carolinian, grew up as a hard working farm boy. Love the country life, the beach, hunting, fishing and reading the Bible. I am married to a wonderful wife who is one of the hardest working, and most dedicated person I've ever known or loved. We are both retired military, me from the Marines and she from the Navy! Both us each spent 20 years in our respective services. I was a Gunnery Sergeant (E-7) and she was a Lieutenant (O-3). The Gunny and the LT, makes for some good inter-service jokes and fun. We believe in and support The Constitution, The Second Amendment, our Christian faith and The Word of God, the Bible! I profoundly believe that it is a marvelous thing that I can submit the names of those who have passed away into their own personal site in Find A Grave so all of those who are friends and family can search for them and learn about their lives. I'm glad I can contribute and hope to do so until one day my wife or some other family member will place the news of my departure for others to see. God Bless America!
