He will be missed.

He was just a cool old dude its no wonder we hit it off. I pulled his chain when I asked about his master paratrooper tattoo. He was surprised that I knew what it was. We talked about his service and he said no one had asked about it in years and just hadn't talked about it. Like several of the older SF guys I have met he didn't seem to think his service was that big a deal or that multiple tours in Vietnam was unusual yet was still proud of his service. He said he had great times in the service and told me a few of the fun stories. From his record and the scars it safe to say not all the stories were fun but I dont think he would have done anything different.

When he retired from the service he went back home to Ill and worked for International Harvest. I still own 2 Farmalls and a big IH. It was a funny he worked at IH but didnt drive a Scout he had an early 70's Bronco with the removable roof. I have been keeping an eye out to restore a 71 Bronco at some point and talking about it for at least the last 10 years.

He came back here when he retired from IH because he wanted to be close to Ft Campbell again. He wound up buying a house here because he thought the houses in Clarksville were overpriced.

We just really hit it off and neither of us expected things to turn out like this. In hindsight thinking about some of the things he said and did I suspect somehow he knew he was sicker than he seemed.

He will be missed.
