I got to know Bill Schwartz when I worked at FWP, a pool supply wholesale supplier. I’m a USA military history freak. And when I found out about his military service I asked if he would be OK sitting down with me to share some of his experiences. Not only was he kind enough to do that and brought an album full of pictures of his entire military career. A true American hero & patriot.
My heartfelt condolences to the entire Schwartz family.
