I had a good relationship with him. I will miss him. He helped me in real times of need, even when I probably didnt deserve it. I respected his service in Europe on the iron curtain, during Korea. I remember Thats where he permanently hurt his knee landing wrong while jumpin off a tank. I dont think many remember the tensions during the Cold War. Like I said he will be missed. May Almighty God bless him forever.
