    Another of "The Greatest Generation" is gone. We all should remember the men and women of our country who in the day of decision ventured much for the liberties we now enjoy. Please watch over us, Tio.

    I wish I had time to get to know you better. For now, I can hold tight the stories you told and the bright smile you had. I will always remember and until the time comes to meet again, I will think of you with a smile. I can't wait until I see you again and to hear more stories of the war.

    Sorry to hear of your loss. We didn't know your dad or grandpa personally but we've enjoyed hearing about him from his son and grandchildren.
