He fixed everything, including Lancasters during WWII. A natural leftie, rather than complaining there were no left hand boomerangs, he invented the first adjustable one.

Human dignity and compassion are alive and well with the entire staff of Starwood and Dr. Rose. Kathryn Sendybyl (Hendrick), Barb Jones (Grant), Walter (Joanne), Harry, seven grandchildren and all your extended family wish you well in your next journey.
