Here one with him with my son who will turn 21 in March. He was always a good uncle to my kids.

This was the last time we saw him in person. He had been living in a nursing home for last three years. With him is my middle son.

Though we couldn’t visit often (we live so far away) I spoke on the phone with him almost everyday.

I will miss him, he was best friend a guy could ask for. Won’t ever have other like him.

      He was killed in Iraq. A bridge that his armored vehicle was crossing gave way after three other Army Humvees had just crossed. The Humvee crashed upside down into 6 feet of water in a canal. All four soldiers inside drowned.
