Mount Vernon, New York

April 4, 2003

He was a great tanker, 2nd tank battalion has a room dedicated to him at the 2nd tank headquarters at camp Lejeune. he loved his car, a red mustang. 
the guys miss him and a lot of meeting are held in the "Gooden Room" 
he died with no pain, it was quick, we wish he was here, we wish all our tankers were still here.
