Thank you, guys.  He lived a long and eventful life.  WWII vet, had 2 wives, 9 children (3 died), 11 grandchildren, 9 great grandchildren and was a successful hotelier.  Traveled the world and helped Marriott grow to what they are today.  Spent the last 30+ years in Vero Beach, FL.  He will be missed.

John,
I knew your Dad in the 80's when I worked at Marriott HQ. He was a great guy, kind and considerate, and a true gentleman. He impacted a lot of careers back then. I'm sure he was also a great Dad who will be missed.
