Where he was station when he meet my mom Anita Virginia Stancil, they were married August 1933 in Walker County ,GA. He always told me that is where he meet his Waterloo! After he got out of service they went back to Blount County, Al. Where my three brothers Billy, Ron, Mike & I was born. During WW2 he was drafted back into army and was sent to Germany, When he got home after the war We stayed in Warrior, Al. then in 1949-1950 We moved to Indiana and daddy went to work at steel mill there. He worked as miuch overtime as he could and hoildays so we could have extra money to get the things we needed and to buy us a home. He worked At Younstown Sheet & Tube Company for over 30 years when he had to retire due to cancer. Daddy was a loving man and caring man think what he enjoyed most out of life was his grandchildren, they was his pride and Joy! Even the kids being little he had to be the first one to give them a sip of coffee, and watch there faces to see if they liked new taste or not then laugh hard when the spit it out! Daddy didn't go to church much but he read the bible daily, he always said no place in bible does it say you have to go to church to get to heaven, he was religious in his own way and I know he is in heaven as he would help anyone anytime night or day they didn't have to ask if he saw they needed help he was first one there. Daddy's whole life was his family. My dad died 33 years ago on August 27, 1972. I miss him as much today as I did the day he died,
