Hi Dave,

I have another death to report.  Walter Hamel died 06/28/2020.  His membership number is 1964.  Walt served in the 42nd IPSD, 1969-70.  He has some great pictures attached to his membership file.


Walt was another friend of mine.  We served together in the 42nd.  He was a great guy, the kind you could really trust in a bad situation.  It is hard to accept that he is gone. 


Take care,
Randy

Dave, 


Walt Hamel got married late in life and never had children.  His wife died several years ago.  He doesn’t have any family.

I just talked with his church this morning.  They have taken care of all the arrangements.  No obituary.  There is a memorial service on 8/22/20. The church is Langhorn Presbyterian Church in Langhorn, Penn. The lady said she will try to get more information.  If I get more information I will let you know.
