He was my First Sgt. at Rheinland Kaserne 1975-78. Thanks for your service Top. You will be remembered, RIP.
Uncle Ross, you were like a second father to me. You and Aunt Tina helped raise me and my brother. Both of you were always there for us. You always loved to tell me stories from your days in the army. And I remember as kid, even though I wasn't for killing deer, you loved hunting. And you were probably the most Patriotic person I've ever known. You were a proud American. Even though I know you both are in Heaven together again, my heart is broken because I miss you terribly. I am thankful that you went peacefully at your home. I know I will see you both again. I just hope that I continue to do right by you and that you will always smile down on me. I love you so much.
Uncle Ross rest in peace ....thanks for your service and I shared the photos
