_____________________________________________
Such a short Obit, doesn't even begin to explain the man that is my Uncle Ethan! He was so funny, loved to tease and flirt. He was a good husband and father. Very much a family man who always had his Children and Grandchildren and Greats around him, sometimes daily. He also was hard working (which he believed in) and farmed hundreds of acres of land, growing soybeans and rice, besides cattle. Had his own shop to repair his equipment, that he and his sons kept in good shape, with them also farming near by. He would give the shirt off of his back, if needed, to help anyone. Never talked of the war, so was a suprise to many his having a bronze star and the 3 purple hearts. Was very active until cancer began taking it's toll on him, and he could no longer farm. It was really a sad day when the Lord took him home, but also a good one, because he was no longer suffering. He is greatly missed by all.
