More detail on this person: Dad was in Viet
Nam 1965 and 1967-68. He was mostly LBR (local
base rescue) when he was home in the states. In
VN he was Aerospace Rescue and Recovery unit.
Cause of death on death certicate says basically
he stopped breathing...(duh..huh?) But I am in
the process of obtaining legal advice as he fell
out of a hospital bed and hit his head and was
released within 2 hrs only an x-ray done. He was
dead within 24 hrs, and the state of California
wanted $4,700.00 for autopsy. Anyway, he had Full
honors and his service was respectable and
attended by about 40 friends and famijy. He and
my Mother Diana are buried together at Riverside
National Cemetary, Honor service by March ARB.
They did a wonderful job. Thank You for
caring. This information was last updated 05/18/2016
