Title: World War 2 Vet Returns Home to be With his Family (Passing of my Grandfather)
Post by: Molsman 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.
