38superman Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 Your father sounds like quite a guy. I'm sorry I never knew him. Our fathers are our best teachers. Honor him by following his example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RePete Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 Condolences to you and your family. 85, he had a good innings and passed with his best friend (wife) by his side. As Carmoney said, he won that stage. Remember him for the goodness in him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allgoodhits Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 My father, Walter Korzep passed away tonight at age 85, succumbing to the ravages of Parkinsons and ultimately renal failure. He passed away peacefully with my mother by his side. He served with the 168th regiment of the 34th Division as an infantryman during WWII being with the first troops that landed in North Africa. He fought at Kasserine Pass, Hill 609, Monte Casino and Anzio. He earned two Bronze Stars and two Purple Hearts. Dad was a person of few words who taught me how to be a man by deed rather than discourse. He was an honorable man who had just celebrated his 60th wedding anniversary. A man who showed me that you could not only turn plowshares into swords but swords back into plowshares. I hope to be half the man he was. My dad was always my hero and the world is a lesser place at his passing. ...yet a better place since he walked upon it! Memories are forever, Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brazos SC Shooter Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 Many prayers and condolences from the Bennett family to yours. May your heart find peace in this time of loss. The pain from the loss of a father never truely goes away but will, in time, shifts from sorrow to even greater appreciation for the man he was.
