Rest In Peace, Dear Cousin, Marine who served 3 tours of duty in Vietnam. We are all so proud of you for serving our country. I will miss our long discussions on the phone over the years, our shared interest in genealogy, you keeping me interested in history and the old movies, but I will especially cherish the times we spent together with your Mom in Florida. I love you both dearly, and you were like a brother to me. Sadly I have to let you go be with her in heaven. I will look up into the sky and look for the brightest star and know you are there. R.I.P. Cuz!
