My father Hugh, was Joseph Horald's youngest brother. He always told my brother and I the about his big brother, speaking with so much pride in his voice. My uncle was killed 5 years before I was born but after listening to my father as he described his brother, I feel as I did get to meet him. My wife and I have visited his and Aunt Edith's gravesite in Ogden many times. Thanks for honoring this man.

Joseph Horald Quigley was my grandfather. I never got to meet him. I never knew him. My mother was five years old when her father was murdered. Her dad was 35 years old. But he lives on - in me - in my mother - in my children and grandchildren now. I tell them the story of how their great-grandfather and great-great grandfather was killed. As it was told to me when I was young.

I wish he could have known him when I was little. I wish I could have hugged him. I wish my mother could have grown up with her dad by her side, to hold her, to play with her, and to comfort her. But that didn't happen.

I am so proud to be his granddaughter. I am proud of him and of my mom, her brothers and sisters, and my grandma. They had to live through this. And somehow, they survived.

And I grew up without him - my grandfather. It's 70 years later and his life - and his death - still matter. Diana
