  "He was always there caring for families," said Ed Herberger of Herberger's Elk Grove Funeral Chapel.  "If he could get up and walk, he'd be there.  He was just very proud to be a veteran and wanted to honor their service."

  He served in the Korean War, worked as a flight mechanic and crew chief at bases in several states, and spent tours from England and Greenland and Australia, Japan and Wake Island.  He received the "Purple Heart, Air Force Commendation Medal and Korean Service Medal with 2 battle stars.
