BigJohn#3RD Posted March 17, 2016 Share #8 Posted March 17, 2016 Scott, May God give you and your family the solace that y’all will need during this time of his passing. You should take pride and honor in his service and the values he instilled in you. The pictures you have posted of him show that he was a upbeat and caring man in in the most dire situations, combat. He is with his former comrades in arms and loved ones who have gone before him. RIP Soldier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris1917 Posted March 17, 2016 Share #11 Posted March 17, 2016 Scott, My condolences. I lost my Dad in January, 2015, born in 1926 also. He also enlisted in 1944 and was a Coxswain in the Navy driving LCVP's in the Pacific. He was one of my best friends and I really miss him. I took my two young children (9 and 8) to Camp Butler National Cemetery near Springfield, IL last weekend to see his and Mom's grave. I ended up taking them on a tour of the entire site, showing them the markers of veterans from the Civil War to Afghanistan. My little girl was amazed at the sheer number and when she realized so many were from WWII, she asked if Grandpa knew all of these people. I said, probably not, but that they were all heroes for their service. Thanks for sharing his story. Be sure that the young ones in your family know it to.
