Always enjoyed talking with Mr Bacon as he reminisced about his flying days. Always had a smile on his face. May God grant his family peace and may his memory be eternal.

Mr. Bacon became my insurance agent in the mid 1970's and was a pillar in the Arlington community. He will be greatly missed. My prayers go out for the family as they adjust to their loss. He was a very likeable person and I always enjoyed the stories he shared regarding his military experiences.

Mr Bacon was one of our favorite customers. Every time I would see him he was always so friendly, with that big smile of his.

A true gentleman.

Please accept our most heartfelt condolences!

HE WAS A TRUE AMERICAN PATRIOT:
Passionate love for his Country; Retired Marine Pilot; Commissioned Officer who worked hard to climb the ranks from Enlisted all the way to a Commissioned Officer & Marine Pilot. Anything with an American Flag and/or Eagle was a gift he cherished.

TOUGH EXTERIOR WITH A SOFT & WARM HEART OF GOLD:
Just so an 'autistic kid' could win the school fundraiser highest seller prize of a Limo ride to a Chuck-E-Cheese party , Mr B. bought 1+++ of everything in the school fundraiser sales book.

TEACHER & MENTOR:
Mr B. shared his knowledge & wisdom from life and business. He recognized, acknowledged, rewarded & invested in people of competence, no matter your gender. RED ink is a basic necessity in life, literally; Always write the DATE & TIME on everything: sticky notes, napkinsEVERYTHING; Just keep on truckin, little by little at a timeNEVER give up; Dont talk about it, BE about it; Always do the RIGHT thing, no matter the cost.

This world is a better place because Mr B lived in it. His guidance & wisdom will continue to ring in my heart & mind every day and will never be forgotten. Goodbye to a Friend & Mentor. Rest in Peace.
