In Memorium for my Grandfather

In Memory of

TSgt. (USAF) Leroy Smith November

1935 (?)-July 27th,2013

     My Grandfather passed away about a week ago from what could have been a stroke. He was 77 years old. He was a Marine and retired from the US Air Force. He met my Grandmother on active duty in Germany. They had three daughters. He was stationed on the DMZ between North and South Korea. He had two Grandsons. The viewing was on Wednesday and Thursday. He appeared to be resting and at peace. It was hard to believe that he was not sleeping. One could almost see his chest rise and fall with each breath. He was dressed in his Air Force dress uniform and his coffin was draped with an American Flag. He was cremated a couple of days ago and his ashes will be in the possession of my Grandmother until they can be placed at Fort Gibson, Oklahoma.
