    Humble to the end too. We get the Bangor Daily News here and his obit read simply "....he served in the U.S. Army 101st Airborne Division in the European Theater". not a word about the Band of Brothers. When we say the "Greatest Generation" this is what we mean.

    R.I.P. to a hero. A Paratrooper.
