More detail on this person: He worked for our company (back when it was owned by Reading & Bates) right after getting out of the service and flew a helicopter. He was living near or around Houston, TX when he died_.I believe. One man thought he may have been living in Conroe, TX but he wasn't sure. Conroe is just north of Houston.

I learned too that he went to the doctor about getting a spot looked at on his back when they discovered it was cancer. He only lived for 3 weeks after learning of the diagnosis. At the time, survived by a wife and 4 children. Very, very sad.
