Another WWII Veteran......

[Jon Deaux]

..... just faded away.

My father died today.
Born Aug 3, 1923
1944-1945... 101st Airborne 502 Regiment
1948-1985 worked for Sohio Petroleum Co.
Died Feb 3, 2022

Looking at Ike's face, the man behind his profile or the one behind the tip of Ike's nose is my father, June 5, 1944.

To all the people of that generation, I'm forever grateful.

 

[Inquisitor]

Sorry for your loss.

Looks like he served our country well and I thank him for that.

Condolences man. He was a key piece of that greatest generation. And man, 98.5 years is a great life!

Respect.

 

[HammerDown]

What those guys accomplished on D-Day. No words.

How incredible that picture is! Your father lived in a better time.

So sorry for your loss. They don’t call them the Greatest Generation for nothing. The sacrifices made by men like your father is a debt we can never adequately repay.

Lost my father 8 years ago this month.

Seems we get the suckiest weather in February as well.

Best thing about it is it's the shortest month of the year.

Condolences to you and family.

I ran into a couple of WWII vets the other night at the VFW. Great conversation and they had great senses of humor like every other WWII vet I've met through the decades.

The best people on the planet to talk to are ages 2-5 and >80. 2-5 for the energetic comedy; >80 for the wise perspective.
