Thank you for keeping me informed on our 36th Engineers. Carls passing is so, so sad.
Carl was always such a gentleman and great friend. We have shared emails, cards and calls over the years. He and my Father-In-Law Tom Nokes both made it to 96. Marvelous men!
12/30/16 marks 3 years since Bobs passing. I’m downsizing and plan to sell our home and move to a nice apartment with attached garage in March.
Have you a family members address I could send a card to?
God Bless,
Carol

Marion,

When you have information on the funeral arrangements, can you please send

With deep regrets,
Mark

My dad had a special place in his heart for his buddies in the 36th. John Markell is the older gentleman in the group shot. I am pictured in Viet Nam with my Chinook in 1968.



Nice of you to keep us up to date. Merry Christmas,


Dan

Just a quick note to let you know that we gave dad the sendoff he deserved yesterday.

Service, Eulogy, Military Honors at the gravesite and then a great party with friends and family sharing hundreds of stories about him.

 

My brothers, Holly and I would like to thank you all for both your love and friendship with dad and our family and the support you have given us the past 2 weeks.

I have attached a copy of the eulogy I wrote and presented for dad yesterday.

 

Please free to share my thanks with anyone I do not have on my email list.

 

Best Regards,

Ted & Holly Furtado

----------------------------------------------------

 

 

For those who knew Carl or simply took an interest in him as an integral part of this website, I provide for you the eulogy presented to me by his son. Imagine my surprise this morning, after discovering my name name within its paragraphs. Such an honor and privilege to be part of his life.

 

Attached is the file that accompanied this letter.

To all my readers young and old

You inspire me with your attitude and courageousness!
To Carl Furtado – you will never be forgotten!

It is so nice to hear from others. I'm glad you had the chance to read his journal. I'm so happy that he and his family took the time to share this material with the whole world.
