earned the expert pistol badge, the WWII Victory Medal, and the Army Occupation
Medal (Germany) before being discharged on the 18th of March ,1949. Although

to the United States. He is survived by three daughters and one son
and several grandchildren and was the uncle of PGR member Mike (weldermike)
