Vincent Muirhead

I was so honored to meet Mr. Muirhead at his home in Lawrence around the time of the 75th anniversary. Thank you to the daughter(granddaughter?) who allowed me into your home. I shared a story of my father's battery on that one Sunday morning and was regaled with stories from Mr. Muirhead about the attack and his flying later in the war. How he heard the radio chatter telling a flight of bombers to turn around because the Japanese had surrendered.
My condolences to the family.
Rest in...

Julie...your "extended family" at the East Coast Gateway Welcome Center (New Kent, VA) extend sincere sympathy to you and your loved ones.
We hope you're surrounded by peace & comfort now and during the days ahead.
James, Lynn, Sally, Anne & Sharon

Fare winds and following seas, shipmate. Glad I had the honor and joy to have known you and your family and to learn your story that I never grew tired hearing. - David Teska, Captain, USCGR (Ret.)

My condolences to the family. My father and Vince were acquaintances thru the aeronautical engineering department at KU. Vincent not only lived a long life but had a very honorable and memorable history to be proud of.
RIP..

Vincent Muirhead was an authentic American patriot, a gentleman, and a scholar. Lawrence and KU benefited greatly from his presence. May he rest in peace.
