We served together in Viet Nam. Wilky was a great mentor and friend. 8. In 2016 we had our 45th year reunion coming back from Viet Nam with the 12 that were left and Wilky was there as usual having a ball.
Fair winds and following seas Sailor. We have the watch here. You are relieved of your duty. You trained us well. We will share memories on the other side when we meet again.
