ESKO E. HALLILA

Esko was a very dear friend. I live in PA and he would call every holiday and send letters with a stamped postcard in it, waiting for a return message. He was a man's man, faithful marine and I have a video of him singing a solo, "The Star Spangled Banner" in DC. It was on the evening news many years ago. What a guy! He is in heaven with his beloved Trudy and my beloved Paul. God bless America and each of you reading this.
