God Bless him.

We're losing so many great men, these WWII vets. My grampa was one of them. A D-Day vet. We lost him on Oct 22nd.

I'm so sorry. Prayers on the way for you and your family.

Since my profession is physical therapy, I often have the great fortune of working with WWII vets. I love to hear their stories of how it was. A friend of mine once told me, "You have a great profession, but you have to work with OLD people a lot."

I told him, I GET to work with old people. Those people have lived more life and seen more things than you and I put together. It's a PRIVILEDGE to work with them, especially the vets." I love to hear their war stories about how things really were back then.

I am sure that you have enjoyed hours and hours of memories with your brother-in-law and are better for it. I feel for your loss; just remember he's in a better place now, probably talking over old times with the vets who passed before him.
