[i tried to post yesterday, but I'm still having issues imbedding Google Photos from their Photos and Photo Archive websites. Just had to resort to uploading photos]
I had never been to Hawaii before 2015. Then I had the fortune to go there 3 times for various Marine Corps reasons. I took hundreds of pictures (thankfully, I don't have to pay for developing or film anymore!) over the three trips.

The passing of Carl Furtado - 36th Combat Engineer

Very sad news today my friends -
A few of you are aware, but most of you do not know of the passing of my very dear friend, Carl Furtado, 36th Engineer from WWII. Can't tell you how much I will miss this man. Words will not suffice...
I plan on posting something on his memoir page, later this week. Too difficult to write, at the present.
Below, please find a note from his son, Ted.
Hi Marion,
Thank you so much for your note and the offer for the birthday card for next week.
Dad passed this morning very peacefully and quietly at 4:30 with my brother Don at his side.
Holly my brother Pete and I had been there all day and left late last night, after telling him how much we loved him and how much we would miss him.
I can't tell you how much Dad loved you, Margi and Lorraine, his Seahorse Sweethearts!
His 74+ year friendship with Tony meant the world to him and he thought of him as a brother.
He had great respect and love for John all these years.
He missed all the guys from the 36th who preceded him and loved all his kids who kept their memories alive through the reunions.
If you would be so kind as to forward this to anyone else who would want to know, I will be most appreciative.
Thank you all.
Best regards,
Ted
