I am sorry for his passing and I also admire People of his ilk. My Grandfather was a similiar type of Man. I Love that WW2 generation. It is truly sad that they are dying and our world will have really lost our "Greatest Generation".

Your butterfly tribute is touching.<br /><br />His contributions to this world were monumental and greatly benefited many people. Here's a minor footnote to his legacy of giving advice of which I'm a grateful benefactor. Nearly 47 years ago on a beach in Michigan he advised a young man to "don't let her get away". We'll drink a toast to Bill when we celebrate our 46th anniversary this summer.Nellie's Needleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12468773469685787840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7016674207999094300.post-27472892326294907302009-05-14T13:00:00.000-07:002009-05-14T13:00:00.000-07:00Great tribute to your uncle.
