I’m sorry to hear of the loss!!!
He was a great guy, Every time we saw him at VFW we always had great conversations & was a very interesting person I wish I had known that he collected coins because I too collect coins and would have loved to know that to get his input on them !!!
He always had a smile on his face when reminiscing about old days when he and John W Zell had conversations.
Healing prayers to the whole family and condolences and much love, Love Pam and John Zell
