Yes, very sad indeed. He was a wonderful man, a great soldier and a fantastic leader of men. Rest in peace.
I couldn't have said it better.
I often watched the series "Band of Brothers" just for the interviews with him and the other Veterans.
Also a signed photo of him is proudly hanging on my wall here.
It sure was a shock hearing of his passing away.
At first I thought it was a very bad joke being pulled (wouldn't be the first time), but later on I got the sad confirmation.
He did reach a very nice age.
Not so many were that lucky ....
