Dear Beth,
I am sorry to hear of your father's passing. As a member of the Mass ANG from 1953 to 1988 I have many fond memories of General Sweeney.

Phalsbourg, France and the many activities of AFT during the years have etched my soul. May he rest in peace. A great man and soldier.

I was reading about his death in the news on yahoo. I am 32 His sensitive mission more than likely saved more lives in the future. I will always remain thankful to people like yourself for the freedom that we all enjoy today. Like Tom Brokaw said in a book that your genearation was truly the greatest generation.

On behalf of my family, we would like to send our deepest regrets on the passing of Charlie. I had the opportunity to due business with Charlie in the early to mid 70's and considered him one of the finest, most honest and caring people I had ever met.
Charlie will always hold a special place in the heart of our family since he bought our daughter her very first pair of shoes which were worn at her christening.
Anyone who had an encounter with Charlie, surely met a man who left...

Your Dad was my C.O. in the 50s . He was a great guy who was never so important that he couldn't stop by the shop for coffee and conversation . My prayers are with him .

Hello Marylyn and family. I am so sorry to hear about General Sweeney. I only knew of him from your pictures of him for your website (howesbayou) but I know you were close. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this difficult time. Hugs, Ken
