Our walk today was dedicated in honor of :
Army Veteran David French, Age 87 of Ladoga, IN.
Died May 21, 2022
David was a WWII Army Veteran.
David worked in manufacturing most of his life. First at Steel Industries in Crawfordsville, Link-Belt Industries in Indianapolis, and then Acuity Brands Lighting in Crawfordsville. David was a die-hard Cubs and I.U. Basketball fan. He enjoyed taking trips to Wrigley Field, weekend get-a ways, and reading James Patterson books. But most of all his favorite times and memories were being with his family, especially his grandchildren.
David was my uncle and I can remember growing up and during several of the holidays that Uncle David and my grandpa would be in the kitchen playing cards with a ball game going on the radio. Lot of great memories.
We had a great 5.97 Mile walk today. We walked by Holiday Hills Lake and watched the geese for a bit then we headed up town to the War Memorial Park. We read some names on the wall and we got to talk with a veteran for a bit. We then headed up 127 and toward the house. We had a great walk. The weather was perfect. I want to thank everyone who honked, waved, and saluted in helping me honor this year. We had 195 honks. it was amazing.
Army Veteran David French will not be forgotten !
