Bummed! Just sent my friend and his wife Barb, a Christmas card last week, only to find he passed away this week. So sorry to hear this. He was one of the sweetest vets I've ever met. Enjoyed sitting with him in Farmington Hills, while attending the 101st meetings. He and his wife also stopped by our country store a couple of times on their way up north to their cottage. What a nice surprise that was. I shall miss you buddy. My condolences to Barb and the rest of your family and friends.

Rest in peace and thank you for bringing freedom to our continent


We are paratroopers. We are supposed to be surrounded.
