February 16, 1937 – June 23, 2025
I was so very blessed by Joyce's father for the past 28 years. He was a father figure, mentor, friend, and had a great deal to do with why my bride is so wonderful!
For some time he was struggling with a lung ailment. On June 23 we got the call that we should make one last visit. I wasn't able to go, but Joyce immediately booked a flight for that afternoon. Before her car arrived to take her to the airport we got the call that he had passed.
We have complete confidence that he trusted the Lord Jesus Christ as his Savior, and that we'll see him again one day.
You can read his obituary here. And a condensed version was published in The Denver Post.
Here's the funeral, where Joyce gave a eulogy:
Here are his military honors and reception, which followed, with recollections by family and my performance of the Apostle John's vision of the New Jerusalem from my one-man play The Revelation:
Here are photos from the services:
