Wow. My condolences to his family. But I had no idea he was still alive until now.

May God rest his soul and condolences to the family and friends. I remember him from my time at Tech.

One of the nicest gentlemen ever. He was a neighbor for many years and I had no idea about "flying 300 combat missions".

The "Greatest Generation" is about to die off completely. I've never visited with many of them who liked to talk about what they did. Most of them I've talked to who will talk about it, poke fun at themselves or just brush off the importance of what they did.

These BLM cowards have no idea that in "expressing their rights" they are spitting on the graves of every one of these great Americans.

Starting with the post war baby boomers it became "It's all about me" and their perceived entitlements.

What a Gentleman. And always with the support of his beautiful wife Minnie. Minnie taught in the P.E. Dept. She taught social dance among other classes. You could see the couple out dancing in Monroe at many of the "clubs". I've seen them at the Electric Circus. They loved to dance.

Totally agree. One of the nicest people ever and the kind of guy that makes Tech what it is. Very humble and genuine. He and his wife Minnie loved to dance!
