Saw this posted on a military page on Facebook when it happened, and am surprised it was not posted on here.

Not stated in the obit, but I believe he was also a ST6 plankowner. The “Patches” nickname is because he had been to more schools than anyone else, thus had more patches than anyone else.

I’ve met him, didn’t know him. He wrote a good book about VN “Pointman.”
