Sorry to hear about Ed passing. He was like my wife's grandfather, he went through WWII, went to

Italy and all that, then Normandy and all that, got shrapnel in his shoulder at Normandy but was like

Patton, adamant about winning against fascism- The Nazis so he could eventually go back home and

start his civilian life over as a fire chief in a small Oklahoma Town. They called him T Bone Allen, a good boxer and officer, who came home to a small Oklahoma town as fire chief only to have a fire

burn his whole living room wood floor in. As bad as that was, his best best friend took a photo of him

after the fire had been put out, with him sitting at the edge of the hole burnt by the fire with his wife

in the same position "drinking" a bottle of beer together. That's the kind of people they were even

under adversity and you know they never changed right up until they passed away. My Mother-In-

Law Jeannie was the same way would listen to your problems and just smile and pat you on the back

to say, "Hey tomorrow is another day so keep on trucking!" It's always sad to lose people-spirits like

that and they never leave your memories when they were there right next to you!
