Dementia/Alzheimer's go hand in hand. His dementia started trying to take him away from us many years ago, He fought it the best he could. As hard as it was for us we know it was worse for him that is why we are asking in lieu of flowers that you make a donation in his name to Alzheimer research. Thank you.
