My father, Pat(as he was called) and his wife Adeline(my mother) raised 4 children after the war in their hometown of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He worked for Philadelphia Steel and Wire for many years before retiring in 1985. He was a good and just man, an awesome Father and a great citizen. Devoted to his family and his Catholic faith. Unfortunately, Dad passed away in 1990 after a brief battle with stomach cancer. He always said that having survived so many missions during the war( 30 plus I believe) that he would never set foot on an airplane ever again in life- and he never did! Rest In Peace Dad and thank you for what you did to secure freedom for so many.
P.S. We do have photos of Pat and the flight crew but we need to get them back from other family members. Once we do we will post.
