    My heart goes out to you. You shared your dedication and sometimes frustrations (what parent wants to be told what to do by their child?) with your dad with me but what stuck out the most was your dedication to his well being. I know you will miss him but rest assured he is in a better place. If you need anything please don’t hesitate to call. You have been there for me so I will definitely return the favor. God Bless Friend.

    Our condolences to the family. It is with a heavy heart that I write your family today. It has been my husband’s quest and passion to locate his dear friend who served with him at Cam Rahn Bay Vietnam. My husband’s name is Noe Flores. We have several pictures of your dad. So sorry to have run out of time. My husband had plans to visit as soon as we located your dad.
