I am so sorry for your loss. My uncle may have served with your Dad. I have come across some old movies he and my Uncle took while serving. If your Dad served in 1968.

Just want to express my sympathy to the family. I worked with Sharon many years ago at St. Elizabeth Hospital. Then last year, I met the family at St. Paul's in the hallway. My mom is also a resident there. So we reconnected with that short visit. Peace to all of you.
