How do you compress 87 years into just a few words? Dad grew up in the Depression years, learning the value of a dollar and of hard work. He retired from John D. Hollingsworth on Wheels after 44 years of service. He was a member of that Greatest Generation and a proud WWII veteran of the US Army, serving in the European theater and the Pacific occupation (97th Inf. Div., 303rd Inf. Regiment, Company D {Dog Company}, Corporal, Munitions & Sharpshooter {Go Tridents}). He was a member of Mauldin First Baptist Church since the 1950's and a member and past Worshipful Master of Empire Masonic Lodge #213. Dad was a charter member of the Mauldin Fire Department, having joined as a volunteer in 1958 as one of the first original six firemen and serving as Captain in the 1960's. And in his younger days, with limited resources, he learned to pilot an airplane and obtained his flying license on a tiny landing strip in the rural backwoods. Dad loved his family and friends, working in his garden, and attending Army reunions with his band of beloved Trident brothers. He was one goofy man with a silly sense of humor. He loved to hug us, and never let you leave the house without a generous hug or two and an "I love you". (I miss those every day.) He also loved and greatly respected the Benjamin Woodfin Adams family, who were and still are so much like family. Dad had three brothers who were his best friends... Earl, Bay, and Darrell. He loved them dearly. All four boys joined the military. All four boys came home. I know somewhere up there Dad's gone for a long and happy walk once again with his brothers, his parents, and Mom, followed closely at his heels by Emma and Jip... ------------------------------------ If Wishing Could Make It So If wishing could make it so, You’d still be here today. You’d smile that silly smile And say those things you’d say. If wishing could make it so, You’d be right here with me. You’d joke and make me laugh The way it used to be. I’d give up nearly everything - The moon, the rain, the snow For one more day with you, Dad… If only wishing could make it so. ~ written by Hazelnuts & Bolts 2015 "The most important thing that parents can teach their children is how to get along without them. ~ Frank Clark" ♫ We Don’t Live Here No More ♫ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5oHo28bIruU ♫ Memories ♫ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3oL_Rb3BlWk ♫ I Still Can’t Say Goodbye ♫ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OVSHdwWzLo4 ♫ Losing You ♫ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5QR89aZ-nzs Please know, understand, and appreciate the sacrifices made by that Greatest Generation.
