December 8, 2017 - My wife, Bonnye Sholmire, passed away on Thanksgiving, November 23, 2017, after battling cancer for a long time. She and I both grew up with very little and it became her passion to provide as many Christmas gifts for needy kids as possible wherever we lived. Her final wish was no flowers, just give to the Marine Corps Toys for Tots or any local group providing gifts for needy kids.
