Your father was a beloved friend to my father Edward Rigney. They both served in the USMC together. I know they are in heaven together talking about the good old days. My prayers are with you all. Your father will always be remembered and loved by all of us. He was a great man with a good heart. Love, Barbara (Rigney) Nishikawa
