Greatest Gen Loses Another One

From JohnA: "The Greatest Generation lost one of its finest last night when my Dad, Gene, passed away in Dalton Gardens. He was surrounded by his wife of 67 years and all six of his kids. In his 90+ years he was a highly-decorated pilot during three wars, an educator in physics and calculus at Kellogg High and at NIC, and a loving father and husband. My family's many thanks go to all who kept him in their thoughts and prayers in recent days, and especially to Father Roger from St. Pius, who hurriedly came to the house to administer Last Rites to my Father. We know he's now in a much better place and resting in peace. So long, Pop. We'll see you again real soon."
