We thank him for his service.

88 years is a long life. RIP.

Figures that the bravest, maddest, and loudest man on the beach would be a Scot:yeah: I don't even have a proper drink to commemorate the passing of an ancestral countryman. Excuse my while I run out and buy some Scottish whiskey.

R.I.P.:cry:

RIP

I had read a story somehwere that the Germans did not shoot at him because they thought he was crazy...something about walking calmly in plain view calling attention to himself with the most awful noise ever produced by man...:salute:

RIP Bill
