This is the second Veteran of World War Two who I have known that has passed in the last month. The similarities are striking. They served their country and their community. They worked hard and raised their children who have gone on to take their places as responsible members of society. They have been blessed with grandchildren and great grandchildren. Besides being good fathers, they were good husbands. After loving their wives all their lives, they could be found faithfully stationed at their partner’s bedside during those difficult last days.
I am sure that, in accordance with his beliefs, Barney is now “In the Garden” with Dorothy and free of the burdens on this side of the veil.
A wonderful story and legacy of a great guy from that “Greatest Generation”.
