Never got to meet you or your family but was proud that you and your father served in the military and were both pilots. Funny that I was also prior Army, flew helicopters and planes. Guess it was in my DNA. I had just drove through Beaumont, TX a few days before I found out who you and your family were. May you RIP and know that I grew up in a good family and had a great life.
