 Additional Information
Last Known Activity:


I was retired from the News Journal Company, Delaware's only newspaper. I was in their employ for 44 years, and retired as Plant Engineer.

I lived in Oscoda, MI, with my daughter and son-in-law. I spent my time doing oil paintings for family and friends, reading, and enjoying the good life.

I was Secretary/Newsletter Editor for the B.A.D. 2 Association for over 30 years, which was formed to perpetuate the memory of those who served at Base Air Depot 2 in Lancashire England, during WWII. BAD2 was a modification and repair depot, which worked on B-24s and P-51s. The site today is the home of British Aerospace, with whom our Association has a close rapport.

  

Other Comments:

I was a 62 year member of the American Legion (life member) and also a life member of the V.F.W. and also of the 8th Air Force Historical Association, in Savannah, GA.

I was a Senior Member of the "Friends of the Air Force Museum"

I was fortunate to make several trips back to my old base in England, for reunions with English families, and former Base personnel.

   
Other Comments:


I am survived by my daughter Patty, my three grandchildren Heather, Laura and Whit,  my great grandsons Joshua and Jeffrey, and my cat, Sebastian.  I was preceeded in death by my wife Virginia, my half brother Victor, and my infant son Ian Michael.
