I never knew the man,but it was with shock and a deep sense of personal loss that I read this thread and finally accepted it wasn't somebody pulling a prank.

Cob,why don't you,Taxman,and a few of his other buddies get together and dedicate a whole thread to this mans's career as a Marine? Maybe a few photos and words from people who served with him in uniform? Let's pay this man the honor he deserves!

BTW,I think it might be a good thing to have a whole thread dedicated to FR posters who have passed that were Marines. I can't think of a better time for this to happen here on FR than on the upcoming USMC birthday. What say you jarheads?

We could also have another thread for each branch of the US military to start on Veterans Day,and it could be a archive thread where we could post obits for various vets in the future. What say you,Jim Rob?

We're thinking along the same lines, pete.
I was going to try to gather some info on his life after the funeral.

Taxman, would you please inform me when the funeral is going to be and where.
I definitely want to be there.
If you and bigun can help me gather the info I'd put together the memorial page.
Thanks. cob1@addr.com
