mercman Posted September 19, 2011 Report Posted September 19, 2011 Sorry to hear that John....Not many witnesses of that part of history left to help us remember Heros all........
Handlebarz Posted September 19, 2011 Report Posted September 19, 2011 Sorry to here this John do you know if he had told his story on the WWII web site? What was his name?
NAW Posted September 19, 2011 Report Posted September 19, 2011 I'm sure you enjoyed many stories about his past. Things you will never forget. Sorry for your loss man.
johnl Posted September 20, 2011 Author Report Posted September 20, 2011 I never really asked him about his past because i was just a young neighbour and didn't want to bother him , although i've heard he liked talking about it we moved in just before i turned two so i knew him my whole life.I;m not sure if he put his info on that ww2 website.
Rattletrap2 Posted September 20, 2011 Report Posted September 20, 2011 Sorry for your loss John! I always enjoyed hearing the stories from my Wife's Grandfather about WW1. I had heard most of them several times, but he had earned the right to tell them as often as he pleased. I'm sure your neighbour was a good man, and probably had many memories of WW2, whether or not he chose to recant them.
Skipper D Posted September 20, 2011 Report Posted September 20, 2011 Sorry for your lost 0ver this way too John and to anothter HERO to which we owe our freedom . Let us never forget .
Dontcryformejanhrdina Posted September 20, 2011 Report Posted September 20, 2011 Sorry to hear that man There's not many vets from that era left now That's a sad fact. I remember as a kid a few veterens from the first world war visited our school, now there's not many WWII veterens left. Sorry about your loss. It doesn't matter how old a person is, it always hurts losing them. But he obviously made an impression on you so he'll always be remembered.
