You were one of our own and we will miss you.

As a life member at post 8093, you supported our causes, hardly ever missed our evening meals, and touched the lives of our many members over that beer and popcorn at the canteen.

ED, we will always have fond memories of you.

And though we don't want to let go, it's time to say good bye and "Happy Days" for the last time.

The Commander and his Officers of the VFW Post 8093 of Debary, Florida express their deepest and most sincere condolences to the family members left behind.
