About Me
Been Married for 38 yrs. Have 3 children one of which we lost 7yrs ago. Have 4 grandchildren and one due Sept28 07. Am a Vietnam Vet from the Navy 1969 and 1970. Retired Feb o7 after 37 years as a plumber and having a ball being retired. My grandchildren add alot of life to us we enjoy having them and so much more fun being a grandparent than a parent. Love and go with my wife couple times a week to play BINGO. What fun! My biggest intrest for my retirement is to help those dealing with grief.I belong to several grief groups on the internet. I have a understanding in the loss of an adult child and is my biggest focus in helping as many as I can. My heart is with everyone going through a grief journey and needing help.
