I worked for Colonel Poggemeyer as a young Lieutenant and I remember him well. He was always a gentleman and treated junior officers with tolerance and respect. I remember his even temper and reasoned approach to problems. Sorry for your loss.

Pete, Rick, Peggi & John,
Condolences on the passing of your father. I remember so many great times when our families would be stationed together. Your father was truly remarkable in all the projects he would tackle. We still have his hooked rug with the Marine Corps symbol.
Much love,

Rick and Pete, Please accept our condolences. You are in our thoughts and prayers. My Dad served in 29 Palms with your Dad. My brother, Ray, my husband, Jim and I went to school with you. Our father always spoke highly of your Dad and we enjoyed our friendship with you. Our father passed away over 20 years ago,and we lost our mother just this past April. She was one month short of her 92nd birthday. The pain will pass, but the awesome memories will always last. Blessings to all your family.
