I had just learned of him a few months ago. I may have even posted his Wikipedia entry in JTOR.

Ballsy dude for sure

Ironically, I learned of him back in the 70's while watching an episode of Gilligan's Island with my grandfather, who fought in the Philippines in WWII.




He told me about how they were coming out of the jungle for years after the war.

My father passed away this afternoon. 89 years old.
My mother had passed ten years ago, most of his friends had passed before him.
My comfort comes from knowing that they're all reunited.
