Maryjane and family I am at a loss for words. 60 years a friend and the best kind of friend. One you didn’t see often but if you picked up the phone he would be there. A 2 tour Vietnam vet, who had a very dangerous job first tour. He was a rhone plow operator. they cleared the jungle pretty much by them selves and about 60% of the POW;s in the south were plow operators few survived being captured. He was a hero, but you wouldn’t hear it from him. I even had Charley fly my Huey from Blackhorse to Long Binh. I mentioned his passing to a classmate and he said I remember him, he was always smiling I’d like to remember him that way. God Bless.
