JimF-LowBari Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Well we got the call last night around 1:30 that Kris mom passed away peacefully. Just got done making the arrangements but waiting for the church to call back if the date and time is OK. Everyone is holding up pretty well considering the lack of sleep and nerve endings. Thanks for the thoughts and prayers guys.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TennTux Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Thanks guys! Yeah Jim, his ship was blown up by a mine off off Normandy the day after D-Day....he had a front row seat for all of that. I attended a few of his ship reunions and the stories were amazing! I just wish I would have been able to meet some of those guys a lot sooner, I would have attempted to get them all down on paper and written a book... there are only a few of them left. Back in 2009 I went with him to Bedford, VA for the 60th anniversary of D-Day, which was held at the D-Day memorial...sitting in the picnic area, and having lunch, I overheard some crazy stories from some of the guys that hit the beach, talk about the "wow" factor! Kind of like hearing a live retelling of "Band of Brothers". I only used to hear the stories about them being off shore and seeing the troop transports going in and coming back. Most sincere condolences Ben.... My dad served in France... We lost him in 1995, just before his 74th B'day. "William Edward White" Light Machine Gunner Served in Combat with the 134th Infantry of 35th Division as a machine gunner to destroy enemy personal and equipment. Participeted with the Third Army in Invasion of France. Military Policeman (Related Civilian Jobs: Policeman, Investigator I) As a member ofn the 505th Military Police Battalion in the enforcement of Military Law.
