Another of the Great Generation passes on
« on: February 18, 2011, 08:22:54 PM »
My dad, Paul Sauve', passed away today.  91 years old and independent, living on his own, until 2 weeks ago. 

French Canadian by birth, he joined the US Army Air Corp after to Pearl Harbor to get into the battle.  A pilot, albeit it be Piper Cubs, a POW Commandant for Japanese prisoners, NCOIC of Hickam Air Field prior to VJ day, orders to be in the second wave ashore for the invasion of Japan (thank you atomic bomb).

I'll post his war stories as best I remember them later.   

If I'm absent for a while, it's because my sister and I are settling his affairs.

Sorry to hear this Alf!

I know it was a tough period for you of late. Will keep you and your family in the prayers  to help in the change.

My sincere condolences Alf.  

God Bless your father, the family and friends in this time of sorrow but rejoice in the beginning of a new journey for your Pop!

My Pop would have been 91 now as well but sadly we lost him over 20 years ago.

Take care...

Truly Sincere Condolences alf. His service, life, and wisdom will never be forgotten; for family, friends, comrades, and His life will remain in you and your family.

God Bless your Father. May he Rest In Peace.

All the best.

Look forward to reading a story or two of his life when you can post it.

I'll light a candle Alf, and I'm proud of your dad. Someone who chose to come here and sign up to fight? It doesn't get more American than that. He raised a good kid and had an interesting life. We will all keep both of you in our prayers.
