Saint Benedict Episcopal Church

I was baptized in the Roman Catholic church in Pullman when I was 24.  In 1963 shortly after I was baptized and I married a gal from Tacoma.  Sharon and I had two wonderful and loving boys.  Todd is 42 and single.  Darin is married to Kristen and they have two children – Kiana and Tanner.

In 1982 Sharon and I divorced.  I met Gen through mutual friends and the rest is history – sort of!!  Shortly after we were married in January, 1983, I was received into the Episcopal Church and confirmed by Bishop Cochrane at St. Andrew’s Tacoma.  I became involved by serving a term on the vestry at St. Andrew’s.  In 1995 we moved to Chehalis and attended Epiphany, now St. Timothy’s.  I served on the Vestry in Chehalis as well.  

Gen is a cradle Episcopalian.  She was ordained deacon in June 2000.  What a blessing for us!  Moving along as it were, we landed at St. Benedict’s and were greeted by a family just as loving and more.  I have been so touched by the people I consider my brothers and sisters in Christ.  I see Jesus in everyone’s eyes here. 

I am currently on the Bishop’s Committee at St. Benedict’s.  I also am a part of the Building and Grounds Committee and help wherever else I am needed.  I feel so blessed to be part of the St. Benedict’s community.

In Christ,
