Farewell William (Bill) Tingen - 101st Airborne - Walt's Daughter - 02-19-2015 I wish to say a farewell to my friend, Bill Tingen. We used to talk on Facebook and I will miss our wonderful exchanges. So glad I got to know you, though I wish it was for a longer period of time. Sigh!
My condolences to the family and all his friends.
Of course the family has been sharing their feelings with everyone, and this morning, this was posted on FB, by a grandson. I think it shows the kind of man he was. So with permission from his son, Pistol Tingen, I am sharing this with you.
Farewell William (Bill) Tingen - 101st Airborne - Jean Jacobson - 02-19-2015 That is EXQUISITE!
What a loss for all of us here - both of them!
Jean Farewell William (Bill) Tingen - 101st Airborne - Walt's Daughter - 02-19-2015 Thanks for taking the time to post this morning, Jean. Farewell William (Bill) Tingen - 101st Airborne - CaptO - 02-20-2015 Sorry to see we have lost another WWII vet. Of course it happens every day across the globe, but it is brought home when you read something like this. I'm glad to have reminders like this because it reinforces the idea that every death has its own story and people who it affects. The poem does that better than anything - it is a window into what he felt for the last 3+ years. May they both rest in peace in the grace of God. Farewell William (Bill) Tingen - 101st Airborne - Walt's Daughter - 02-24-2015 I know I can always count on you too, to respond and reflect about our vets. |
