RIP great uncle Richard. MIA after completing a bombing mission over Orvieto, Italy. His B-26 left the formation as they returned to Tunisia. Last seen 40 miles east of Sardinia. Aircraft or crew never recovered. Any information helps! Please contact tylererman@gmail.com Thank you.
I remember him most for his love of Our Country. He was so proud to defend our freedoms that we just take for granted. He was a wonderful husband to my cousin Missy, a devoted son in law but more than anything a wonderful father and role model to his children.
