Dear Liston Family,
It is with deep sadness that I read of COL Liston's death. He was my commanding officer at the 308th CA GP in the early 1970's. COL Liston was a gentleman and an outstanding officer who earned the respect and admiration of all those with whom he served. He will be missed and fondly remembered by his military colleagues. I shall remember COL Liston in my prayers.
