Our Story

We met at Locomotion's, a bar in downtown in Indy's Union Station,  October 1987
We were a happy couple, Deb always had a smile on her face.  I and everyone who knew her will miss her forever.
Our first picture as a young couple.  One of our first dates.  We were on our way to Greg & Becky McLears' wedding
 We took vacations together
We're inside Hoover Dam

We partied with her friends.....
And mine.

I took her to Europe in 1993 - and proposed at the Eiffle Tower in Paris, France!
Beautiful at night

 Under the tower with engagement ring.  Still in shock!

We were married June 11, 1994 at the Shelbyville Elks Lodge
My Uncle from Cincinnati (a judge) performed our ceremony
(as Judge Pro Tem).

Our final chapter will be written here at Forrest Hill Cemetery in Shelbyville, IN.
I designed this headstone for her.  The Eiffel tower represents her love of all things french and the place I proposed to her.
As an Interior Designer she loved the Art-Deco era of architecture & design, the font used is an art-deco style.
She was fascinated by Frank Lloyd Wright design and visited "Falling Water" several times so I chose a border in the Wright style.
