Another crewman of the 484th has been lost due to natural causes.  My dad served with the 484th on the plane known as "Off Limits Rose", the pilot was John Roedel.  My dad was the flight mechanic and  waist gunner.  They successfully flew 50 missions with the loss of only 1 life and that was their bombardier.  The bombardier was killed by shrapnel on the last flight as I recall. My dad was an avid attendant of the reunions and always received his copy of the Torretta Flyer. I hope he can be remembered at the 2014 reunion in September at the memorial breakfast.
Thanks to all to gave some and especially to those who gave all.
