While Ambrose will be dearly missed, as a family we are grateful for the number of years we shared, his sharp mind and memory and the importance of hard work, family, principled living and a love of learning which have been instilled in us.

In addition to his parents, Ambrose was preceded in death in 2005 by Erma, his loving wife of 53 years, as well as many of his siblings. A private family Mass of Christian Burial and interment service at the Minnesota State Veterans Cemetery in Little Falls, MN will be held at a later date.
