That's a really sad and sobering piece of news. Veterans like this have always had a special meaning for me. Things like this should really be commemorated more openly. I hope this is a fact that won't be lost on people this coming Nov 11th.
Of course after such a long life, it's hard to say that it wasn't his time. A well-deserved peace, I should hope, after what he has been through!
