    Air and Space Friend

    Honored by:
    Ms. Kimberly Murray

    Served twenty years in the Air Force. Served in Korea and Vietnam. He passed away in 1985, after a long battle with cancer. He wanted to be a pilot but due to being color blind was unable to fulfill his dream. He became an aircraft machinist instead, saying if he couldn’t fly them he’d fix them. He expected and demanded perfection from his crew because he knew the pilot’s lives were in his hands. He was very proud to serve in the U. S. Air Force.
