Legacy Matters

Killed Raking Leaves

He survived D-Day and the Battle of the Bulge, won the Silver Star and was killed raking leaves.   

Jules Crittenden has more on Philias Verrette in Never Know How You'll Go.

We’re all going, one way or another. It’s how you live that matters. A parting salute to a great American, who served his country bravely in war, worked hard to provide for his family in peace, and died, at the age of 87, cleaning up his yard. That sounds like a good life, despite its tragic end at this late age.

Condolences to his family.
