Just found this page in January 2025. I served under his command at Offutt AFB, Nebraska in the early 1960s. Of all the officers I served under I remember him the most. I was an Airman First Class coming to the end of my enlistment. He encouraged me to re-enlist. Which I eventually did. If I could have served with him my entire career I would have stayed 20 years. I admired him greatly.

I'm so very sorry for the loss of your father. My mom, uncle and I so enjoyed seeing him and your mom at the "family reunion" in CT in the 1990s. We lost my uncle, Bill Pringle,in June so they are all sharing a laugh and talking about the family together.
