Services are being finalized

Thank you all for the outpouring of love and support in the past 12 hours. We are humbled, and overwhelmed, with all of the friends and family extending their condolences.

The family is hanging in there, relieved that Dad has finally been released from the fight of his life. A lot of phone calls, arrangements, and planning begins.

As the norm dictates (seems like every challenge came during a holiday, a vacation for a doctor, or on the weekend when there was limited staff), Dad's priest that he really connected with, Father Dan, is on vacation and out of the area until next Tuesday night. So we are planning the following, as we'd like Father Dan to perform the funeral Mass for Dad:

Wednesday, October 28th

Rosary 7:00PM

John A. Gentleman Mortuary

14151 Pacific Street

Omaha, NE 68134

Thursday, October 29th

Funeral Mass 1:00PM

St. Vincent de Paul Church

14330 Eagle Run Drive

Omaha, NE 68164

(located between Blondo and Maple Streets on 144th St)

Friday, October 30th

Full military funeral honors burial

Ft. McPherson Cemetery - Time TBD (details pending, but likely mid-afternoon)

12004 S Spur 56A

Maxwell, NE

For those coming in from out of town, we can recommend the Hilton Garden Inn on 180th and Dodge Street. It's near Village Point Shopping Center, with good restaurants and close to just about everything. Address: 17879 Chicago Street.
