My name is Wayne Jaffeux, I worked with Mr. Shelton from Oct 1977 until he retired in 1986. Him and I had some good times at the weapons station. I will solely miss him. I did not find out of his passing until this morning. [email protected]

I remember my uncle Buck well. As a child, he was always a hero to me in his army uniform. Dad told me yesterday of his death, and you folks have my condolences. I wish I were able to attend the funeral. Raymond D. (Butch) Sutherland, Jr. {[email protected]}
