His quiet voice is difficult to hear but this man is a gem. We met when I interrupted his trek through my neighborhood several years ago to tell him how inspiring I found his daily runs. A veteran of WWII, a survivor of the great depression, he is one of the hardest working and proudest Marines I've ever met. He spent more than 60 years married to the same woman only to lose her at their son's funeral. In his mid nineties, he lives alone, drives himself, walks every single day, is still the go to guy for his kids and has gone to great effort to make sure his grand kids are taken care of after his passing. He has a great sense of humor and the characteristic adapt and overcome mentality so common among our Heroes.
