Never heard of him, but he seemed like a cool guy.

do watch Band of Brothers, bugfix...highly recommend it.

It sure is sad knowing my son will most likely never be able to hear stories from someone that survived that era.

That's a shame.  A really good officer.  Rare in those days, damn near impossible in todays.

Bfff those are bad news...

I just love Band of Brothers and admire those men who survived the worst war in the world. Sad day for sure.

He was portrayed as a damn fine officer and leader in Band Of Brothers, and I got the feeling that he was all that and more.  RIP, leader of heroes.
