Got hired the day Nixon got fired at MacWhyte Co on Aug 9, 1974 worked there untill they shut down in 1999 I got married the first time in 1987 and had three boys Zack, Ian and Grant. Things didn't work out with my first wife found out that she was unfaithful to me in 1990 thats OK things have a way of working out just fine and I found the love of my life shortly after the turn of the Century Elma Biedess-Devine a transplant from Jamaica a true African Goddess an Atlanta housewife before there was an Atlanta housewife all Class NO drama. I met her when I was working as a nurse (GTI 1999) in North Chicago she was a CNA on the 2nd floor while I was a nurse in Psyc and Dementia on the 3rd floor she came up nearly every day to have me take her accucheck I only had to hear that heavy accent once and I knew she was the ONE!

We continued doing things togeather albeit at a much easier pace. We both had our share of aches and pains its hell getting older and we both knew it was catching up to us, Elma was born in 1953 but could easilly pass for 35 I on the other hand was born in 1956 and looked like I was born in 1956! Then right before Covid hit in Nov 2019 we got the terrible news that Elma had been diagosed with Stage lV Pancreatic Ca and our world fell apart Our oncologist had given us 4-6 months but she fought like hell until March 29, 2021 when she passed away, the last two weeks being the hardest time I have ever known and will ever know.. Hospice was great and they still keep in touch helping me get through the tuff days and nights they say things will get better but truth be told I have my doubts I still look forward to seeing our Grandson Caleb and my boys down in K-town as often as I can
