Take a moment to read this obituary

Obits | The Dickinson Press

...It is difficult to write about Bill. He lived three lives: before, during and after Vietnam. Before Vietnam, Bill was a handsome man, who wore clothing well; a man with white, straight teeth that showed in his ready smile. A state champion trap shooter, a low handicap golfer, a 218-average bowler, a man of quick, earthy wit, with a fondness for children, old men, hunting, fast cars, and a cold Schlitz. He told jokes well...

 

Heartbreaking and beautiful.

 

Powerful.

 

Not the point, but I couldn’t help but thinking how well-written it was throughout. Pitch perfect and presented carefully, which only helped the important underlying message.

 

Very sad story.

 

Wow, that hit hard. Very well done. So many emotions, good and bad, captured perfectly.

 

If that obit doesn't help personify the horrors of war, nothing will.

Well done. Thanks for sharing.

 

Good god. That’s a story.
