Didn't really know Saccopoo but may he rest in peace.

Buried my Dad today. 1929 to 2017 Korean War Vet and then a self made millionaire. I knew we were having the military send off and that they would fold his flag. I figured my older brother would receive the flag and I'm good with that. What I didn't expect was to be presented his uniform. What an honor. I found a five hour pass in the pocket of the Jacket from 1952 which was when he was being discharged. Pretty awesome. Can only imagine what he did for those five hours.

I asked my dad one day that if the reason he was the tank commander was because he enlisted instead of being drafted. He said "no it was the process of elimination." I think he was third down the line of command.

RIP Dad

Sorry to hear that. Many thanks to your father for his service. It sounds like he served with distinction.

RIP, I've definately lurked here way more than I've posted over the years, but I was sad to hear this.

I'm a support rep for neurosurgeons and patients that go through these types of things. I wouldn't wish this on anyone. It's incredibly hard on people and their families.

I hope he's found peace, and I hope his family does as well.

Wow, Condolences Phil. My dad is also a Korean War vet . Born in 1927. He will be 90 in September. It is sad. Knowing I will be going to his funeral before long.

For that I'm truly sorry.

He would write great posts with pics and vids in the draft forum.
You may not have always agreed with his picks but they were well
thought out and very thorough scouting reports on the players he liked for us.
And every year he had one of his boys from Utah going to the chiefs.
RIP Sacc

Was he a fan of Alex Smith since he played at Utah?

He had Kizer as his 1st pick in his last mock.
