He was in the Army. I know that he fought in Italy and was part of the Normandy invasion on D-Day. He died pretty young, at age 66. He refused to eat spaghetti because he saw how the noodles were made. He said that when they make the noodles, the noodles are put on the roofs to dry, and flies would get all over them. As for D-Day, I think that affected him the most. He would get real quiet and just say that he didn’t understand why God let him live through that day.
