| 73 | 3 | Nov, 2017 | MANN, THEODORE CHRISTOPHER, JR. | 422/F | 6/30/2017 | “The Battle of the Bulge was the final push toward Berlin by the allied troops and was the largest campaign of the war (excluding D Day). Ted and Harry Bell were sent to Belgium toward the end of the war and were part of the 106th Infantry Division, which was the last U.S. Army division to be activated in WWII. The division was comprised of three regimental combat teams: 422nd, 423rd and 424th RCT. The division took over the “ghost front” in the Schnee Eiffel sector to relieve the 2nd Infantry. The sector was so named by GIs because it was so uneventful. On December 10, 1944, Ted and Harry Bell were on the Schnee-Eiffel ridge of the German Siegfried Line. They were somewhere east of St. Vith, Belgium, in the Ardennes forest. Ted was in headquarters and Harry in the mortar squad. “On December 16, Germans broke through on both ends of our 106th division line, leaving us surrounded,” Harry said. On December 19th, after a valiant four-day fight and out of ammunition and food, both the 422nd and 423rd infantry and most of their supporting artillery and attached units (5,000–6,000 men) were captured. The 424th was able to pull back to St. Vith and participated in the rest of the battle and the counter-offensive in January–March 1945. On that morning (Dec. 19) Ted crawled out of his tent to do his business to find that they were surrounded by Germans who confiscated their weapons and boots and forced them to march in the snow. Harry recalls that they marched all day and night to a railhead. He said, “Germans loaded us in small boxcars, over 40 men to a car, standing. One night in a rail yard in Koblenz, British bombers destroyed several cars in our train. We couldn"t see, but word spread that there were many casualties. Finally we were let out to get our first water. Germans loaded us all on trucks and drove us to the village of Bad Orb and then to Stalag I-B where we arrived on Christmas day.” Ted thought to himself, “What a lousy Christmas this is going to be.” Harry said, “We were locked up every night with no sanitary facilities. Food was a cup of ersatz tea at breakfast, a cup of beet top soup at lunch and one loaf of black ersatz bread divided for eight men.” Pop Ted told us that the other soup they often consumed was a boiled down horse"s head broth along with moldy black pumpernickel bread, this was every day. “One day a U.S. fighter strafed our barracks by mistake, there were some casualties.” On April 2, 1945, tanks from Patton"s army came through the gates. “Three days later, U.S. forces took us to the Frankfort airport. We were flown to Camp Lucky Striker in France. Ted and others were flown to England to a hospital. He never told me about it. I was sent home on a ship. Ted was sent home from England via a hospital ship and had severe malnutrition and pneumonia, weighting only 87 lbs.” From an article by Harry Bell and Gerry Mann Reported by Harry Bell | |

| 77 | 1 | Mar, 2021 | MARTIN, HARRY F., JR. | 424/L | 11/25/2020 | Harry Martin, proud infantryman in the 106th Infantry Division, the Golden Lions, who fought in the Battle of the Bulge, softball player for the NJ Embers, which won both the Silver and Gold Medals in the Senior Olympics three years running, and self-professed “Senior Citizen Emeritus” of the Borough of Mount Arlington, NJ, died at home on November 25, 2020. Harry graduated from North Plainfield High School before enlisting in the army. Due to a sight impairment, he was sent to the Ozark Mountains in Mississippi to guard German prisoners of war. He later sought combat duty and was sent overseas where he faced combat from the opening day of battle on December 16, 1944 until he was wounded on January 25, 1945. Harry recovered in time from his injuries but was to spend the remainder of his service overseas. He was sent to the British Tabulating School in England, a forerunner of modern computer schools. From that experience, he was determined to earn a college degree in accounting, which he was awarded from Rutgers University in 1947. Harry married and raised three children in North Plainfield and established a business practice there, retiring and moving to Mt. Arlington to live on beautiful Lake Hopatcong in the 1970s. It was not long before Harry became involved in Mt. Arlington Borough functions, serving on the Welfare Board, the Board of Recreation Commission and the Borough Council. He was also a member of the Morris County Republican Committee, the Treasurer for the Trustees of the Mt. Arlington Library, a volunteer for Neighborhood Watch and a member of the Senior Citizens Club. At the advanced age of 66, Harry decided to play softball, and the N.J. Embers took him on. He will be remembered by them for his determination, his friendship and his ongoing support of this organization. He traveled to Pittsburgh, St. Louis, and Lexington, Kentucky to play with his team. Although he no longer went to twice weekly practices, he loved his softball buddies dearly. In 2010, Harry was inducted as President of the 106th Infantry Division Association at its annual reunion in Indianapolis, Indiana. In 2011, still following his career in accounting, he later became Treasurer for the Association. Experiences in warfare are hard to forget and Harry welcomed the chance to meet with his comrades each year to discover just one more thing about the battle that he didn"t already know. Years after the war ended, Harry wrote an interesting and informative book entitled “I Was No Hero in the Battle of the Bulge.” It was finally published in 2016 and is available on Amazon. Harry is survived by two daughters, a son, eight grandchildren, one great-grandchild, and his partner of 28 years, Jacquelyn Coy. Submitted by Jackie Coy | |

He started working on a farm in Bibo at the age of twelve, but as much as he liked it, he said he was only paid in beans. At age sixteen he boarded a train to California looking for work and would end up working in the shipyards of San Francisco. At the age of eighteen he was drafted and joined the Army.

Just two years ago when asked about his time in the war he still would choke up and could not finish telling his children about his experiences. After returning home from the war he found a job in construction. He worked in California up through Oregon building highways. Celestino met Celia in Pasadena, California and were married in 1954. They moved back to New Mexico later that year and he went to work for Anaconda Mill Works where he worked until he retired after twenty-seven years. Celestino also worked building houses and investing in real estate. They moved to Las Cruces in 1976 and continued doing construction and later started his own company. They moved to Albuquerque in 1987 where he lived until he moved to Grants with his daughter, Margaret. Celestino lived his life to the fullest.

| 81 | 1 | Mar, 2025 | MAYRSOHN, BERNARD 'BARNEY' | 423/CN | 10/7/2024 | At 101, Army veteran Bernard "Barney" Mayrsohn considers himself a lucky man. Bernard is survived by his oldest daughter Janet of White Plains, NY, middle daughter Barbara of White Plains, NY and youngest son Mark of Miami, FL who lives with his wife Kathy and daughter Sophia and daughter Aubreyanne and her husband Josh who live in Vermont. However, he was never luckier than in December 1944 when German troops overran the 106th Infantry Division at the start of the Battle of the Bulge. He would survive those first few days of terrible fighting and, five months later, walk out of a German POW camp. While forever grateful for having survived, Mayrsohn was always bothered by losing his brown, wool "Eisenhower" or "Ike" jacket to the enemy. Poorly clothed German soldiers, without sufficient cold-weather gear themselves, stripped American POWs of their clothing, including Mayrsohn's Ike jacket. With a smile and watery eyes, the centenarian accepted a replacement for the jacket he lost 80 years ago from Lt. Gen. Donna Martin, the Army's 67th inspector general, on his 101st birthday. To show her appreciation, Martin flew to Miami for the birthday celebration and to honor Mayrsohn for his service after his son Mark sent an invitation to Army senior leadership. Martin jumped at the opportunity to share in this momentous occasion. "We are so grateful to you and the Soldiers of the 106th for the fierce resolve you showed in that first week of the battle," Martin said, "and we know you always regretted losing your jacket." With that, Martin presented him with the new version of the Ike jacket, which is part of the current Army Green Service Uniform. Mayrsohn was deeply touched as Martin draped the jacket across him. "You'll see that the new version is cut and tailored like the original," said Martin. "It's got the medals you earned back then, your two Purple Hearts, the Bronze Star and the Combat Infantryman Badge. It'll look very handsome on you." After champagne and cake, Mayrsohn and Martin sang a duet of the Army Song, with the lyrics from his era, and the veteran's voice boomed every time they sang "... the caissons go rolling along!" A quieter rendition of God Bless America followed. Martin also brought him three congratulatory letters and coins from Army Secretary Christine Wormuth, Army Chief of Staff Gen. Randy George and Director of the Army Staff Lt. Gen. Laura Potter. Mayrsohn's life story was captured in a 2018 biography, "From Brooklyn to the Battle of the Bulge and on to Building an International Business: The Incredible Story of Bernard (Barney) Mayrsohn." The book recounted the heroism of the 106th ID, known as "The Golden Lions," at the tip of the Bulge from Dec. 16, 1944, the day the battle started, until two regiments of the division were forced to surrender on Dec. 19. As Mayrsohn described in a 2014 video interview shot for the 70th anniversary of the battle, the 106th ID was inauspiciously positioned. "My 106th Division was put on the very tip... of the bulge," he said, referring to the large pocket the Germans created in the Allied lines. He belonged to Cannon Company, 423rd Infantry Regiment, made up mostly of Soldiers with little or no combat experience. The company took up its position on Dec. 12, seven miles from the Siegfried line in a sector known to be so quiet that GIs called it the "Ghost Front." As Cannon Company took up their position, the outgoing troops they relieved assured them it was a chance to calmly acclimate to a position close to the enemy. Because of a "bum shoulder," as Mayrsohn put it, he was originally rejected for service, "but I sneaked in anyway." Due to his shoulder, his job was to run communication lines to the company's outposts, rather than take up a rifle position. "We were told by them [the troops they relieved], 'Quiet front, no activity, you're gonna get comfortable being in the front lines,' and this was about three or four days before the Germans attacked," he said. "We hardly got comfortable where we were set up. ... On the very first morning of December 16, we all heard heavy shelling, and they all said, 'Barney, what the hell's happening?' and I said 'Well, you heard, it's our own artillery playing games.'" "Well, when the shelling stopped at daybreak, we saw German troops coming over to our area ... and we started shooting at them," he continued. "I think I got a couple, we shot a couple, we captured a couple. This is December 16." Mayrsohn recalled that German panzers went around either side of his unit's fortifications, which meant "...in the first 24 hours we were 20 miles behind the German lines." Back at the house where Cannon Company headquarters was set up, Capt. James Manning, the company commander, said they were cut off and would have to fight their way out. Manning was shot and killed minutes later when he was the first to step out of the building. On a return trip to that area in 2014, Mayrsohn and Mark laid a wreath on Manning's grave at the Henri-Chapelle American Cemetery and Memorial in eastern Belgium. Terrible fighting continued day and night from Dec. 16-19, including hand-to-hand combat and desperate firefights, with little to no cover, to hold off the German troops. Cut off from the Army's rear position, they had to create foxholes by throwing grenades onto frozen soil. "For four days, our company, together with other surrounded and blocked-off companies, tried to get together with our regiment," Mayrsohn said. During those four days the remaining members of his unit, as well as the other units they joined with, ran out of food and ammunition while constantly surrounded and targeted by German tanks. "We fought the 16th, 17th, the 18th," he said. "We finally got together with our division on the 19th - what was left of the division. We were all dug in, surrounded by German tanks." Amid increasingly heavy casualties, surrounded and with no defenses, and under deafening fire from German tanks, the order to surrender came. "Luckily, our smart colonel, [Charles C. Cavender] was his name, surrendered what was left of us. ...His orders were, 'Destroy your weapons and put your arms up.'" Mayrsohn suffered wounds to his hand and arm, earning him the Purple Heart. After the surrender, the prisoners were marched for three days in the snow and bitter temperatures. His buddy, Hal Taylor, marched barefoot after the German troops took his shoes. Taylor developed pneumonia and Mayrsohn carried him multiple times. When Mayrsohn and Taylor reached the German railway lines, they were crowded into cattle cars with 100 other men, although, as Mayrsohn recollected, they were intended to hold only 40, "...which was a heaven, because it was better than the snow, but it turned out not to be heaven." When the weather cleared, the American pilots' mission was to destroy the German rail system. Mayrsohn recalled that U.S. aircraft strafed the trains, hitting a train ahead of his filled with American officers. The humanity veterans show with their stories - a symbol of their strength - often comes in the form of humor, and Mayrsohn is no different. When he arrived at the Stalag IV-B prison camp near Mühlberg, he was allowed to pick out a sergeant's coat from a huge pile of clothes. "So, overnight I became from a private to a sergeant, and spent the rest of [the time at] the prison camp as a sergeant. That's my story," he said during the 2014 interview. In May 1945, Soviet troops freed the Americans. Toward the end of the birthday celebration, Martin lingered to chat more with Mayrsohn and his son in the sunny, wood-paneled private room at the restaurant. "It was hard to say goodbye," she said. After the party ended, Martin flew back to D.C., taking with her the memories of a hero of the Greatest Generation. According to the National WWII Museum, the Army lost 19,246 Soldiers during the Battle of the Bulge and over 23,000 American troops were taken prisoner. Mayrsohn's narrative reflects the camaraderie and bravery of so many previous generations of Soldiers, which continues to draw men and women of character into the Army to this day. The tragedy of combat was seared into Mayrsohn at 21 years of age. "I was in my foxhole, shells were blowing up boys all around me. Pieces of the boys were flying all around me. We had no defense." | |

| 67 | 1 | Apr, 2011 | MCCARY, WILLIAM H. 'HUGHES' | 423/H | 1/13/2011 | Known by his middle name Hughes most of his life, Mr. McCary was a private when transferred from Motor Mechanic School (Fort Benning, GA) as a replacement into 106th Division, assigned to Heavy Weapons Company H, to a .30cal water-cooled machine gun crew. He went over on the Queen Elizabeth, and hated English food cooked on ship; existing on Hershey"s bars and Coca-Cola. During the Battle of the Bulge he was wounded and captured riding in a jeep when ordered a retreat back to St. Vith. He told his son Jim McCary that a soldier named Ted gave him his field jacket before he was sent to a German hospital. He was held as a prisoner at Stalag IIA but worked on surrounding farms so he was not confined in the camps all the time. In May 1945 a German sergeant walked his group of prisoners to the American lines. Near Schwerin his group had to unload a C-47 full of jerry cans of gasoline in return for a flight back to France. At Camp Lucky Strike he met Ted again and returned a pocket-watch that was in the field jacket loaned to him when he was captured. He married Joyce Vandiver in 1949 and was 2 weeks short of their 59th anniversary when she passed away in 2008. Hughes worked his way up from drafting designer to engineer over 35-plus years at A. B. Chance Company in Centralia, MO. He also operated a small farm raising cattle which allowed him to return to his childhood roots from a depression-era farm in Southwest Missouri. His family would enjoy any correspondence from 106th veterans or associate members at the following: Jim McCary, P. O. Box 65, Allison, IA 50602 or jimmc@netins.net | |

His last words to my mom were "Here is a guy I served with in the 81st." He closed his eyes a minute or so later and peacefully died. The "Engineers" a unit of only about 300 men in 1944, most of whom are gone now. Finally. I reached the obituaries and here is what I found. Cyril A. Young, 81st Combat Engineers; Edward A. Nagle, 81st Combat Engineers; Leslie Earl Benson, 81st Combat Engineers; Everett M. Gold, 81st Combat Engineers.

And one final time they peacefully and reassuringly told him -Jack, you did your duty ... it's time to join us." He is with them now. Good-bye Dad, we'll all miss you. You never let anyone down." | |

Born in Des Moines on November 25, 1925 to parents Marvin and Zora Mills, he was adopted and raised by his grandparents, James and Lulu Mills. He has lived in the Dayton area since 1946 where he worked 18 years for Walker, Norwick and Templin Architects; 20 years for Helmig, Lienech and Doench consulting engineers; and 11 years for Heapy Engineering as Senior electrical systems designer. He retired in 1995 and took up genealogy as a hobby. He was an Army Veteran of WWII serving on the front lines in Belgium with the 106th Infantry Division, 423 Regiment, company I at the start of the Battle of the Bulge when he became a prisoner of war. He was assigned to a work Kommando, now known as Slaughterhouse Five, located in Dresden, Germany and survived the deadly 1945 firestorm bombing raids. A book entitled “Slaughterhouse Five” contains many memories of those prisoners of war describing what the conditions and life was like after the bombs stopped falling. Jim is a life member of the following: VFW Post 9927, American EX-Prisoners of War Dayton Chapter 86 and the 106th Infantry Division Association. “Jim was a unique man, a dear and loving husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather and a great friend to many. I feel so fortunate to be able to call him a friend as was my dad, Erv, Sr. who was his close army buddy in the war, as a POW and thereafter. The day I first contacted Jim 25 years ago blossomed into great memories I will always cherish. When I started researching Slaughterhouse 5 it quickly became apparent Jim was the guy to talk to. He was a main contributor to that book. Due to his eloquent, sharp and down to earth instincts, I was able to get a true grasp of this never-before documented slice of tragic history. No wonder he was quoted in many other Battle of the Bulge and POW books, papers and interviews. I will always treasure those 106th and Stalag 48 reunions with Jim and his wife. I"ve always felt that being buddies and looking after each other helped them survive… considering what they went through. The horrors they witnessed from the February 1945 firebombing that destroyed Dresden changed their lives forever. It shaped them to be good men who worked hard and always tried to do the right things. They both got the message the hard way.” Excerpts of memories from Erv Szpek, Jr., son of, Erv Sr. James Mills is survived by his beloved wife of 36 years, Janice, and his children from a previous marriage to Betty C. Cox. Submitted by Erv Szpek. Jr. | |

In 1942, with great pride, he graduated from Akron High School. During his high school years as a Flyer, he was a basketball standout playing the post position leading his team in rebounding and as one of the Flyer"s leading scorers. On December 11, 1942, following in his father"s footsteps, he and a school buddy, Bob Richardson, enlisted in the Coast Artillery. His father, Sgt. George McKee served in the Coast Artillery during World War I. After finishing basic training in Fort Screven, GA, he was assigned to the “D” Battery, 53rd Coast Artillery at Fort Lauderdale, FL. While there, he was promoted to corporal. While waiting to go overseas, Richard and Bob became bored so they volunteered for the infantry and were sent to Camp Atterbury. He was assigned to “A” company, 422 Regiment of the 106th Infantry Division. He was promoted to sergeant and was appointed as assistant squad leader of the 1st Squad, 3rd Platoon. During his stint at Camp Atterbury, Dick had extensive infantry training. A veteran of the Battle of the Bulge, he was taken prisoner on December 19, 1944. On February 14, 1945, and over a two-month span, Richard and the other POWs marched 465 miles across Germany in what was called a “Death March.” After being a prisoner of war for four months, Richard and his buddy Bob escaped from the Germans and eventually returned to the United States. On October 11, 1945, Richard was honorably discharged from the U.S. Army. He was decorated with the following awards: the Purple Heart, Bronze Star Medal and POW medal. On June 30, 1949, Richard married the love of his life and his best friend, Mary Edith Alber, at Grace United Methodist Church. Their union spanned over 60 years, producing two beautiful daughters, Cheryl McKee and Jackie McKee. The family tree flourished and added four grandchildren and three great-grand- children. As entrepreneurs with a keen sense of journalism, in 1958, Richard and Mary Edith co-founded, co-owned and published The Shopping Guide News. In 1983, they rolled the presses for the final time, retiring. After retirement, Richard was at home spending many hours in his woodworking shop. It was here he created heirlooms and treasures for family and close friends. Submitted by Jim West | |

| ADD | MORTON, ULYNN | 424 INF | 10/8/2014 | Ulynn Morton, 90, born in Cullman, Alabama, November 2, 1923, passed away in Panama City Beach, Florida, Wednesday, October 8, 2014, surrounded by his immediate family. Ulynn is survived in death by two sons, Larry (Margaret) Morton of Crane Hill, Alabama, and Butch Morton of Panama City Beach, Florida, (Denise Morton of Cullman, Alabama); three grandchildren, Andrea (Patrick) Penn of Huntsville, Alabama, Trent (Kendra) Morton of Lafayette, Alabama, and Tanya Morton of Cullman; three great-grandsons, Seth Penn, Samuel Penn and Charly Penn, all of Huntsville, Alabama; one “soon-to-be” great-granddaughter, Caroline Allene Morton of Lafayette, Alabama; a sister, Christine Kessler of Cullman; and countless nieces, nephews and friends. Ulynn was preceded in death by his loving wife of 66 years, Allene Morton; his parents, Nannie Jane “Babe” and James Morton of Cullman; two brothers, J.R. Morton and Felton Morton, both of Cullman; three sisters, Virgie Brooks of Simcoe, Alabama, Chloe Reeves and Wenell Walls, both of Cullman. Ulynn began caring for others at a very young age. He began working to provide for his family shortly after his father died. Ulynn was only 13 or 14 after learning that he was the man of the house and needed to start working various jobs to help out his family. That early commitment to others carried on into his adult life. At the early age of 20, Ulynn was called away to the war raging in Europe (World War II) where he was drafted into the U.S. Army. He was part of the 424th infantry regiment in the 106th division. He became an expert marksman in the 81 mm mortar (among all other weapons that he picked up), which led him to the job of forward observer. This was one of the more dangerous jobs, as it forced him to advance into enemy lines in order to call back enemy coordinates to his men. Needless to say, he was not popular with the enemy and he spent most of his time “pinned down” under enemy fire. However hazardous his job, he never faltered in his commitment to his country or his men. He was field-promoted to staff sergeant and became a squad leader because of his valiant and courageous leadership efforts. Ulynn was involved in most of the major battles in the war, including Northern France, the Ardennes Forest (more commonly referred to as the “Battle of the Bulge”), and the Rhineland. Altogether, Ulynn served courageously for three-and-a-half years, all the while away from home. He was offered a promotion to lieutenant if he would continue to serve, but love of family and a promise to his mama carried him back home (with numerous medals). While stationed at Camp Atterbury, in Indiana, (before he left for Europe), Ulynn met the love of his life, Allene (she was employed by the Indianapolis State Police Department). After Ulynn returned home from the war, Allene traveled by train from Indiana to Alabama to meet up with him. Shortly thereafter, they were married in Cullman on August 31, 1946, and began their life together. While raising two boys, he was employed full-time by Ingram Farms where he was in charge of the service department, among other things. He continued working tirelessly for 44 years (well past retirement age) until his rheumatoid arthritis set in and would not allow him to work anymore. Once retired, he enjoyed traveling to various beaches and lakes, camping in the mountains in their travel trailer, hunting, fishing and carpentry. Nonetheless, his real satisfaction came from “spoiling” all of his grandchildren and great-grandchildren. After living in Cullman all of his life, he moved to Panama City Beach, Florida, in November of 2011 to live out the rest of his days in the warm Florida sunshine and beside the beautiful sandy beaches. Ulynn was a devoted Christian, along with being a wonderful husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather to all of his “little buddies”. At home, he was a brilliant carpenter and mechanic, where he could usually be found making all of his family beautiful furniture or repairing his sons" or grandsons" vehicles. He would spend countless hours on the lake or in the woods teaching his grandchildren how to hunt and fish or just letting them “pester” him. He taught us more about life than any amount of formal education could ever provide. His church home was East Side Baptist Church where he regularly attended for 55 years. That was also where he learned how to live his life following Christ while being a blessing to others. Those who know him, realize that he definitely blessed everyone whom he came in contact with in some way. He will undeniably be missed always, but never forgotten. His life lessons will continue on from this generation forward. We can only hope to be half as loving, courageous, giving and selfless as he was. He will continuously live forever in our hearts. He was a great man that went by many names (”Ulynn”, “Lynn”, “Hoover”, “daddy”, “pawpaw”, “grandpa”, or “great-paw”) that all add up to one connotation — remarkable! Words cannot describe how much we will love you and miss you, but we will see you again one day in paradise for a great reunion. — Trent Morton (grandson) Visitation will be at Cullman Heritage Funeral Home Saturday, October 11, 2014 from 6 to 9 pm. Funeral services will be held graveside at Cullman City Cemetery on Sunday, October 12, 2014 at 2 p.m. Published on October 10, 2014 | https://obituaries.cullmantimes.com/obituary/ulynn-morton-754517581 | ||

He is also the author of “The Kit Bag,” a publication that contains a selection of interviews done by Rev.

He was quoted saying, “I had a wonderful time recording the war adventures of sacrifices and service. Our war veterans opened up. I let them talk, and talk they did.” These interviews have now been captured in a book that will remain a lasting legacy to those who went to war and returned and those that paid the ultimate sacrifice. He has written columns for newspapers for over thirty years. After “The Kit Bag,” he wrote a column called “Consider This” which is now the book, “Walk With Me.” Rev. Mosley is preceded in death by his first wife, Eloise Mosley. He is survived by this wife, Priscilla Mosley of Marietta, GA. Children: Professor Ronald A.

He sold the company to UniFirst in 1978. Ralph married Margaret Camp Murphy on May 14, 1966. They raised their daughters, Margaret and Amy at Mar-Amy Farm in Southwest Ocala, where during his "retirement" Mr. Murphy was a successful breeder of thoroughbred horses. Ralph was a loving and caring father, grandfather and husband. At the farm, the girls were free to roam on pony carts, go carts, roller skates and those homemade stilts he and a buddy made. There were horses, dogs, neighbor cows and a brief attempt at raising chickens for a school project. In his final years, Ralph's favorite pastime was fishing in the pond next to his house with his youngest grandchildren, Lizzie and Jack. The family would like to express their sincere appreciation to the wonderful caregivers who have supported Ralph and Mardie in their later years: Elizabeth Hernandez, Myra Walker, Lonnie Walker and Lallieta Rampersad.

| 69 | 1 | Mar, 2013 | MYERS, CHARLES ERVIN | 422/K | 1/5/2013 | I am sadly advising the other members of the 106th Infantry Division, that T-Sgt Charles Ervin Myers has passed away at the age of 92 years, 8 months of age. Born May 4, 1920, in Warren, to Ervin and Glenna M. (Jones) Myers, he passed away at his home in Youngstown, Ohio where he lived for over 75 years. Charles enlisted in the U.S. Army upon completion of his education from Mineral Ridge Technical School and was deployed to Europe during World War II. He fought in the Battle of the Bulge and was captured by German forces and held as a Prisoner of War for 108 days in Stalag IX B, or as he would say “I was a guest of the Germans.” During this time he suffered frostbite and severe dehydration. Upon liberation at the end of the war, Charles returned to Youngstown and began working at Hynes Steel Roll Form Products in 1949, retiring in 1982. During retirement he was a very active volunteer for the Red Cross. Burial will take place at Calvary Cemetery. I would suggest that anyone who has lost a veteran utilize the VFW and the Patriot Guard to provide the appropriate services for the veteran. Thanks to all of you for your service and sacrifice for our great country. Submitted by Charles" son, James Myers | |

| 78 | 1 | Mar, 2022 | MYERS, LAWRENCE 'LARRY', JR. | 590TH & 591ST FAB, 424TH REG CT | 1/27/2022 | Dr. COL (retired) Lawrence "Larry" Myers, Jr. Born October 21, 1921, and raised in Hartford City, Indiana. After graduating from high school, he attended Purdue University and majored in Chemical Engineering. He soon discovered his true calling was announcing at the school's sporting events. He carried this passion into his later life when he announced for the Syracuse Nationals basketball team, later to be known as the Philadelphia 76ers. Radio broadcasting was his first love professionally. While still at Purdue, he auditioned and won the lead in a summer stock production of "Jim Dandy." A vivacious coed from rival Indiana University, Betty Jane Mowry, won the role of leading lady. She later turned out to be his real-life leading lady and were married on October 19, 1943. Commissioned in 1942 as a field artillery officer after graduating from Purdue's ROTC program, he joined the Army and served for the duration of World War II. He was assigned to the 590th and 591st Field Artillery Battalions for the 106th Infantry Division. Lawrence fought during the Battle of the Bulge, The Rhineland Offensive, and the Northern Apennines, Italy. Myers returned to military service in 1950, when he joined the 403rd Civil Affairs Company as a member of the reserve corps. In 1957, he was promoted to major in the division. From 1968 to 1975, Larry was commanding officer with the 425th Military Intelligence Detachment. At the time of his retirement in 1975, he was a colonel and awarded the Legion of Merit medal. He and others of "The Greatest Generation" were recognized on the Honor Flight 10 that took them to Washington, D.C. in 2017. After the war, Larry came to Syracuse where he focused the rest of his academic life on communications – with a strong interest in the science of broadcasting, the power of words and the television medium to influence audiences. Larry received his master's degree in speech and his PhD in applied statistics from Syracuse University in 1949 and 1956 respectively. While pursuing his degrees, he was the manager of WAER (1948-1951 and 1954-1957). His teaching career began as a graduate assistant in the Television-Radio Department, progressed to instructor, and eventually a full professor of broadcasting. In 1963, he became chair of the Television, Radio & Film Department, a position he held for 27 years. He also served as the interim dean of the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications from 1989 to 1990. He retired from Syracuse University in 1992 and was granted the title of professor emeritus. In 1993, he returned as an adjunct professor for the Division of International Programs Abroad (DIPA). He retired again in 2000 after teaching another ten semesters abroad. Dr. Myers took special pride in having taught such luminaries as Dick Clark, Ted Koppel, Bob Costas, Dick Stockton, Len Berman, Marv Albert, Mike Tirico, Sean McDonough, and many others renowned in their fields. In 2019, Lawrence was the first professor to be inducted into the WAER Hall of Fame. That same year, he was celebrated at the S.U. Homecoming Football game as the military "Home Town Hero." Larry had associations with many philanthropic organizations in the Syracuse area. Dr. Myers celebrated 100 years of life on October 21, 2021 with family and friends in Syracuse. Celebrations included numerous recognitions, awards from local and national organizations, and a parade. He always wished for "peace on earth" and added value to anyone who crossed his path. His smile, smarts and stories will be remembered and cherished. Larry passed peacefully in his sleep on January 27, 2022. Reported by his daughter Claire Myers-Usiatynski |
