My Uncle Dan was a vet of the island-hopping battles in the Pacific. He passed two days ago at 95 years.
God bless your Uncle Dan and may he rest in peace now.
My condolences about your uncle. But you are blessed for having had him with your family for so long.

My grandfather was in a Navy tin can off Iwo, Okinawa and a lot of the rest of the Pacific campaign. They probably passed in the night. They don’t call them the greatest gen for nothing.
Sorry for your family’s loss.
You are truly fortunate to have had him for so long - my family’s GG is gone 20-35 years now. G-d, I miss them all.
My condolences. We also lost WWII vet friend of ours (82nd airborne) in June. The few that are left of the Greatest Generation are going fast. :-(
My late father-in-law served with the 4th. Marine Division, Saipan, Tinian and Iwo Jima. He was wounded on Iwo. That got him the heck out of there. He was recouping from his wounds when the bombs were dropped and like a million other guys he got to see his next birthday. There were giants in those days.
