He was a Green Beret, retired. He fought in Viet Nam and was assigned to South and Central America as the A Team Leader with his Green Beret Unit. He graduated from Campbell University after he retired from the Army and was working with a company that built Army War Games to train the Green Beret. He was on his way to lunch with some Green Beret buddies on their Harley Davidson Motorcycles when a young girl was texting on her phone while driving and drove into his path. He could not avoid her and was catapulted off his bike into the street, broke his neck and died. Please people, don't text and drive.
