Spag will be missed deeply by all the c-1-28 Marines. The togetherness they had during Iwo Jima will never be replaced. Dad is rejoicing with John today and telling stories as they did all the years they had known each other as "brothers". I know this will leave an empty place in your hearts but fill it with all the good times and cherish each memory.
