More detail on this person: My father was
killed in an automobile accident while visiting
his home state of Texas on April 24, 2013, at
16:25 PM. Daddy had just visited San Antonio and
the crash happened while visiting all the places
he lived and also old friends along the way. Daddy
had a life of adventure and except for his
(pre-deceised) wife Dorothy, and his children,
(Pre-deceised) Sherry Ellen, Robert Douglas,
Dorothy Charlene and his grandchildren and great
grandchildren, he would tell you there was nothing
he loved more than serving the USA as an Army
Pilot. This information was last updated 05/18/2016

Daddy was also an avid boater, fisherman and
hunter. Since 1995 after my mother died, he moved
aboard and lived on various boats traveling
between Texas and the Bahamas. Daddy lived in
Bradenton Florida on a little canal behind my home
that emptied into Tampa Bay from 2003 until his
death. At 87 Daddy could still tell you all the
remarkable stories of his time in the military.
Yet, after the service at Ft. Sam Houston National
Cemetery, one of his lifelong friends came up to
me and said; I never knew your father had
(medals). Daddy did not keep his accomplishments
on his wall or in his conversations. One time
Daddy told me that what he did during his service
was just part of his job.
Soon I too leave aboard our Tayana 52' to sail
around the world with my husband, Larry Green.
This has been a lifelong dream and we leave the
end of June.
It is with great sadness I tell you this news.
Daddy was looking forward to attending several
reunions this year.
