PHM 1 U.S. Navy WWII
Father; Sid Raney
Mother; Harriet Putnam
Coolest grandpa ever! Before we were born he ran a pharmacy in Paris, fought WW2 & Korea. We would beg him to tell us war stories but he could not. He would just tell us how he tried to fly off their barn with an umbrella.
He took us on road trips to visit our ancestors graves. We did stone rubbings as kids because of him. He taught us to enjoy the country life, fresh cow milk, horse back riding, how to; drive, fish. He was a pharmacist. He was also a chiropractor. We'd drive out to Subiaco to straighten a farmer's back for a bushel of peas. Ole Tom never met a stranger. Everyone loved him! He made us Orange Crush homemade ice cream. Took us to the Fred's on our birthday to pick out a gift. Took naps, smoked Vantage, drank Budweiser, had an easy chair and jumpsuits.
