Freepers,

I wanted to let my freeper friends, particularly the ones who have kept up with my posts on Delbert Fellers, WWII hero, Silver Star recipient and fishing buddy, know that I received the dreaded phone call about 10 minutes ago.

Delbert died at 9 p.m. last night. It is fitting he died on Memorial Day.

He will buried Thursday with full military honors, and I’ll be there.

His son said he had planned to bring Delbert here to fish with me on his 86th birthday, in mid June, if he was able to make the trip. It was the one wish he had for his birthday, and his son said he looked forward to it so much, was so excited.

The threads on Delbert are pasted below:

Thank you Delbert for helping create the world we live in today.

Because of you and your brothers, it is a far better world than humanity has ever had.

Godspeed Delbert, you have earned your rest like few can.

I am sorry for your loss my friend. You were a good friend to the man, and I know he loved you dearly, as you loved him. I am confident he is being welcomed with the words “Well done good and faithful servant”.

Delbert Fellers, one of America's finest.

God bless him and his family.

Than you for posting this and pinging us, girlangler.

"He ended up in the Pacific theatre, with the 1st Wildcat Division, Company F."
The good Lord chooses when each will be taken. How befitting he took this old warrior on Memorial Day. May his soul now rest in peace. His tour of duty is now complete.
