World War 2 Vet Returns Home to be With his Family (Passing of my Grandfather)
« on: May 13, 2015, 07:23:05 PM »
It is with Deep Regret that I announce the Passing of my Grandfather today Fred L. Speece Sr from the 191st Tank Battalion. (My Grandfather)

He Served during WW2 and from previous post I shared in the past from his Tours over in Italy and Germany. My Grandfather passed away in his sleep at the Humble age of 91 today and Returned Home to See his Lovely Wife, 2 of his Daughters and his Twin Brother Frank Speece from the USS Skill that was Sank off the Italy Coast During the Battle of Salerno in 1943.

91st Birthday Party

Rest in Peace sir, for you have earned it.  Your brother has waited a long time to see you again.  I'll bet he has a cold beer waiting for you.

Thank you for the peace you brought to us 70 years ago.  :salute

There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

Nicely said, Zoney.  8s, stay proud in your understandable sadness.  Call if you need an ear.
