Family is the reason I chose to enter this profession more than forty five years ago. Back then I watched my own family deal with death. I wanted to know the proper things to say and do ….. I wanted to help. So I went to mortuary school, studied hard, and worked in various funeral homes. I discovered that I derived a certain measure of emotional satisfaction from guiding a family through their decisions; listening to their individual needs and watching their feelings grow from sorrow to solace.
While raising my family I had several opportunities to meet your family. Whether it was at church or school, on the football field or basketball court, volunteering at the hospital lawn party or helping at the community egg hunt, I met your family. In a small community that's not hard to do.

Growing up in a funeral home is not something many people can say.  As a child, it was a unique experience and while friends and peers thought it was strange, for me, it was home.  As I grew older and later entered the work force myself, I began to realize the value that funeral service offers.
