My father just passed away on January 24th, 2021 (90 yrs old). He was a very quiet gentle man. He didn't talk about his time in the service very often but we heard some stories about his time in Puerto Rico. I wish I had asked him more about his time in the service. He lived in the same house in Hales Corners for about 62 years.  From a few years after his marriage until 4 months prior to his death.
