Not sure what to say?

Hen-Min was a dear friend and fellow FAC in Southeast Asia many years ago. His service to country nearly cost him his life, but he never complained about the injuries and pain he lived with. He and Arlene were always smiling and fun to be with for anyone who knew them. After Arlene, his next love was his restored Corvair convertible which he liked to drive around with the top down. He was a key part of the FAC Reunion in 2002, which was one of the best gatherings of our unique brotherhood...

Hen Min was a great American hero. As a fellow Forward Air Controller he was shot down by enemy fire on a mission after his tour was finished. His life hung by a thread but he survived to lead a full life of service to others. We graduated from Syracuse together along with Hen Min's devoted wife Arlene. Friends for life. We hosted a gathering of former FAC's in Hawaii in 2002 and met often over the years. Humble but strong Hen Min will be missed by all.

Sure gonna miss plugging in a couple times a year . Yup ! That radiant smile is unforgettable.
