TECHNICAL FOURTH GRADE US Army
First Cavalry
World War II
June 20, 1926 - January 22, 2011
*Excert from the obituary,
to see full obituary see his other memorial.
He completed his primary studies at South Side High School. After graduation, he joined United States Army’s First Calvary Division, toward the end of World War II. He was stationed in Japan and the Phillippines where he mainly served as a cook. He was fond of saying that he never imagined when he joined the Army that he would spend so much time on a boat, as he sailed to these destinations in the Pacific on board different United States Navy ships.
One of his favorite stories from the war was that General MacArthur assigned him and another young man to sleep on a yacht the General had commissioned in the Phillippines to keep the native population from going aboard and tampering with his personal possessions. He would laugh as he accounted for the fact that his critical duties during the war were to guard the General’s sailboat and peel potatoes.
