Dear Patsy and family,
My sincere condolences and deepest sympathies on the passing of your father. I know you will miss him greatly. I, as a life long soldier have a great affinity for those who have served in during wartime. I commend him for serving in the the U.S. Navy in WWII. For his wartime service I salute him. I hope some military service organisation, like the Navy League will be at his funeral. If I can assist you in any way, call me at 727-289-8054. LTC Bill Eichholz, U.S. Army retired. May God grant your family peace at this difficult time
