I keep my Dad in my heart

 

4/8/1915-11/27/1995

 

     I could list all that my father achieved in his life and the many people he knew but that would take a book.

     Dad served in WWII and for a while afterwards was a missionary in the Philippines.

     They reactivated and stationed him in Japan in the early 1950’s.  He stayed in the military for twenty-six years and we moved to many bases throughout his career as a chaplain.  Dad had a chest full of medals (called salad.)  Sadly, I’m denied access to them so I can’t list them here.

     Upon retiring from the military, he began a ‘new’ career as an Episcopal priest.  We moved a couple more times.

     I have very few pictures of him and those that I have I treasure.

     Although you are gone for fifteen years now, I always keep you in my heart, Pop.
