I met your Mom and Dad at a VC 66 reunion in California in 2002. My husband was Capt. Franklin T. Stephens. I still enjoy the photo album that DeLoach mailed to us. We lost Frank or "Steve" in 2012. I am so sorry for your loss. Sincerely, Joyce Stephens

Dear Allegra, Hilda, and William,
I am very sorry for your loss. Your Father was a fine and generous man - a real gentleman. I came to know him while researching and writing a book about my Father and his service with VC-66 during World War II. Your Father was very enthusiastic about my project and was a great help. Thank you for his service to our country!

Allegra, Hilda and Bubba, your Dad was an important part of my life. I always enjoyed our visits and stimulating discussions. Recently we corresponded via emails in which he continually sent thought provoking notes. I will miss him as a friend and mentor.
