The service information shown in the program includes Ivy Baptist Church in Newport News, VA, and the memorial booklet features an obituary, Order of Service, military portrait, family photographs, personal tribute pages, pallbearers, and military interment details.
Following the service, the program lists interment with military honors at Albert G. Horton Memorial Veterans Cemetery, 5310 Milner Road, Suffolk, Virginia 23434.
