My dear father fought the Dust Bowl of Oklahoma and moved to California. He first worked picking prunes and carrots. When he secured his dream job driving on CAT machinery for PG&E, he was drafted into WWII. He trained soldiers at Ft. Ord. CA. and later served in France, Italy, and was in the Normandy invasion. He received the Silver Star, and loved General George Patton!

Later, he was happy to fall in love and marry my mom in Salinas, Ca., dad was happy the war was over! He worked his career as a truck driver, retiring in Hollister, CA.

My dad loved animals, especially dogs! He loved the land, his family, and a good western. He especially like John Wayne.

People like my dad are the heart of this country, and the greatest of generations. They put others before themselves so that the next generation/their family would have it better! He was part of the "giving" generation not the "me first" generation.

I love you, Dad!

Your daughter,
