I continue my recovery from open heart surgery in Spring 2026 to repair a couple important issues. I have currently returned to clean and photograph gravestones and I wish to extend my thanks to all who sent healing thoughts…I used every one of them.

The genealogy bug bit me in the early 1970s and I have been actively searching for relatives since including the following surnames.

Paternal Side: Spezia, Roncelli, Carnaghie, Pedroli, Caloia, Monti, Fraquelli, Franzosi, Berra, Malnati, Sassi, Carabelli.

Maternal Siade: Besterci, Baran, Krupa, Lucas, Trisc/Treese, Szczęsny/Sczesny/Stesney, Kuprus, Zuschin, Affleck, Oris.

I began my participation with Find a Grave in 2018 when I retired from General Motors. I live in Troy, Michigan and primarily add photos of headstones from Resurrection Cemetery in Clinton Twp, Michigan and Guardian Angel Cemetery in Rochester, Michigan. I leave digital flowers on every memorial that I photograph for this site. I give full permissions to anyone who wishes to use any of the images that I have added to this site.
