Kenneth Owen "Ken" Getchey

Well brother, another year has passed and you are still missed. I´m hanging in there Kenny, God only knows when we´ll meet up again. This time will definitely be longer than the last time. Rest in peace brother. Shipmate, Eddie Blumberg

Kenny and I went to Parachute Rigger school together right after Boot camp. We were in different companies in boot camp, so I didn´t meet him till we got to Lakehurst, NJ. "Jump school" was really great. That is up until the time we had to pack our own chutes and jump out of a C-47 at 5,000 feet! There was one thing, I do remember is that we were told NOT to lose your ripcord after you pull it! If you lose it you´ll have to buy the beer at the party that night! Well, guess who lost his...

Rest In Peace my brother. See you on the other side.

i love u and thanks for the service i never got to tell you i am glad for u to be my grandpa

So sorry for your loss...we will be praying for you during this difficult time.
Marianne and Emily
