Today our walk 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 5.09 Mile walk today. We walked up to the War Memorial Park down town for the Memorial Day event. We had lots of people helping me honor my uncle today. We even had a 100 year old WWII Army Veteran helping. It was an amazing event and honor to honor our Fallen Heroes. I want to thank everyone who honked, waved, and saluted in helping me honor this hero today. We had 188 honks. It was an amazing day.
Army Veteran David French will not be forgotten !
