He is survived by his son, Steve, and family – wife, Mary; son, Alan; daughter-in-law, Sarah; and daughter, Anne; and by his daughter, Kathy Lynne, and family – husband, Larry; and daughters, Shannon and Kimberly. The Family expresses their deep gratitude for the love and care JE received from the staff at Walnut Place.
