My dad was a WWII veteran. He had five Bronze Stars and a Purple Heart. Not many men lived through five campaigns. He said seventeen men out of his entire company that landed on D-Day lived to come home.

He worked hard until he couldn't, and his integrity came before anything else. He always gave the customer more than they had bargained for, and people that didn't operate that way rubbed him the wrong way.

He passed July 13 six years ago. When they told him he had a few days left, he never showed any fear or remorse, he just wanted us to promise we would take care of Granny.
