Posted by: John Hiemstra - Sherwood, OR - fellow soldier Jul 06, 2014 How do I say goodbye to a brother? I had the honor and privilage to fly combat with Jeff,many times.His skills as a snake driver were superior to most others,and he saved me more times then I can count.We lived not far from each other when we came back to the world,in Ft.Lauderdale.Those were good years too.He and Linda,and My wife and I were the best of friends.I knew George,Lois,and Bill and Tom.Tom,Jeff and I would play handball whenever we got the chance.Those were fun days.I guess I'm still in shock that Jeff is gone now.I have pictures of him from Vietnam,talking to us and smiling and laughing.Goodbye my dear friend and brother in arms.I hope to see you at Fiddlers Green when it's my turn to lift off one last time from the main active.You were always a hero to me bro...
