Prayers for family and loved ones. Tough time of year to go. WWII vets are going quickly, my dad (Navy) died two and a half years ago at 93, he lied about his age and grandma signed for him to join. Miss these guys, I learned so much from vets. They kinda stuck together and never said much about the war. My dad told me when he was in his late 80s about spending 2 weeks in Singapore after the war ended. Where he was, they needed a guide to go into the city on leave and the guides were Indian soldiers that could speak Chinese. Now this was a young guy (19) that had never been out of South Dakota before joining the Navy. One of his hunting buddies was a cook in the Army. He always cooked on a wood stove in our shared duck hunting cabin. Good memories! May God bless them all. Great people, everyone I met.

Wayne, the thing to do is be proud and honored that you had the opportunity to know him.
Your legion will I'm sure keep his memory and service to our country alive.

You are so correct.
Dick and I got along very well, and we talked a lot. Actually, he got along well and talked a lot with everybody.

I will remember him always, and even before he passed, I cherished the fact that he and I sat together, drank together, sang together, and talked much.

I am proud, honored, and thankful that a portion of his life was spent with me. And he was so good for other Veteran's.

Recently, I mentioned his Corvette duty in the North Atlantic. He told me in no uncertain terms he was not a ***-darn Canuck! He served on a Destroyer!

When a person is approaching a hundred years old, it's reasonable that life has moved them around. I know he was originally from New York. His last 10-or-so years was spent near us in Mt. Angel and Salem Oregon, and now his funeral is in Sequim Washington.

Thanks again everybody for your well wishes and Prayers.

Wayne.

Wayne it's an honor to know people like your friend Dick. You were blessed to have him in your life. There is only one WW2 vet alive that I personally know and he was my 7th and 8th grade history teacher. I don't see him often but when I do I always enjoy talking to him.
