In September of 1988, he and mother went to Normandy to see the dedication of the memorial for the 29th Division on Omaha Beach. They enjoyed their trip and on the way home to Arizona, daddy said he wanted to see his sister one more time before he died. They stopped there and when he was in the car on his way to the airport to return to Arizona, he suffered a massive heart attack and died a few days later. He was cremated and his ashes scattered.
