Suzie and Noli were my two wives and the mothers of my four children. For this reason, I felt they should also be on my web site. I am sorry but I have no pictures of either to put here.

Both were very nice ladies and I remained good friends with them after the divorces. Unfortunately for all of us, I never really loved either of these ladies like a husband should love his wife. I cared for them as people. I liked them a lot but there was no real foundation for everlasting love, if I am actually capable of that.

Suzie was from Korea. I met her in San Diego while actually doing a favor for a friend of mine, Margie. Margie owned an Oriental bar of First ave in San Diego called Madame Butterfly. She asked if I would go out to the airport and pick up this friend of hers who was coming to San Diego from the east coast. I didn't really want to do it but she was a friend. I drove out to the airport but to my surprise, Margie was also there with a male friend of hers. Suzie rode back to the bar with Margie. I was a little miffed about driving out there for nothing but when I got back to the bar, Suzie and Margie both were all full of apologies. As it turned out, Suzie was running away from a husband and getting a divorce. At the time, I was head over heels in love, (haha, or so I thought), with a lady from Taiwan. Suzie and I became good friends and one thing led to another and we ended up getting married. She deserved so much more than she got from me but we did produce one of the finest young men in the world in my oldest son, John. Suzie and I divorced after about three and a half years. I got custody of John and she went off and married another man. Although she was in Guam with her new husband, she never abandoned John. She would send me 100 to 140 dollars every month to help me get a good babysitter for John. She would always send him birthday cards and Christmas cards even though it was very hard for her to write English. Suzie passed away when John was in the sixth grade from Lupus disease. We always remained friends and I got along well with her husband too. It was a sad day when she passed. She was a fine lady.

Noli was my second wife and I met her while I was stationed in the Philippines. We actually remained married for about ten years but the last five were really not about marriage. She went her way and I went mine but we stayed in the same house. It was good for the kids. I had three children with Noli and also got custody of them when we divorced. Sadly, Noli has been married three more times since our divorce and none of them lasted. She has fallen on hard times and it is very tough for the kids to see. I remain on friendly terms with Noli but keep an arm's length away from her problems.

These were both women who cared about their children but came from backgrounds where security and stability were not easily attained. Plus the lack of education made things even worse for them. I have some sincere regrets on how I treated them although I must say I never was physically abusive. I think they honestly both loved me at one time but I misused that love. For that I am regretful. I never like hurting anyone. But from those unions came four of the greatest kids anyone ever had. For that reason alone, I had to include them on my honor roll. They were better than I deserved at the time. Thank you ladies.
