He was my Commander while at the Space and Missile Systems center and also when he was promoted to the Commander of Air Force Systems Command. A great officer and pioneer in our space programs. May he Rest is Peace.

A great leader, officer, and friend. He did great things for the Air Force and our country. He will be missed by many.

Cousin Randy and Lucille are together in heaven watching over Julie and all of us.
