Farewells to Henry Grissell - 36th Engineer
#1

A note from John to everyone:

 

I have been getting accustomed to getting a letter or two back every time I send out a letter to the Seahorses. This time, even though it is Christmas it happened again. Henry Grissell is no longer with us. You might remember him as the fellow who drove up from Florida in a huge SRV, a friendly but quiet fellow. May he rest in peace.

 

36 Engineers are rugged......John Fallon II. Capt. USA Ret.

 

My condolences to the family of another RUGGED 36th Combat Engineer. RIP!

I did not know Mr. Grissell, but I am sorry to hear this.

 

Godspeed and thank you to an American Hero.

I got a nice card from his widow yesterday. She told me how much he loved staying in touch with everyone, and how much he enjoyed the reunions of past. She also told me how impressed he was with the work I was doing.

 

It was nice to hear from her, and I'm glad he liked what I was doing for "the boys".

 

Here's to Henry; a heck of a nice guy. My sincerest sympathy to Louise. It must be a very, very sad Christmas.
