Tony Bennett departed, age 96.

He had Alzheimer. No one should go out like that.. Rest IN Peace. Mom and Dad loved Mr. Bennet.

I just read a story on his WWII service, which included liberating a Nazi concentration camp in Germany, and later getting punished by an officer for fraternizing with an African American soldier in the segregated Army.

He said the experiences made him a lifelong pacifist, and later participant in the civil rights movement.

He was one of the good ones.

We often had his music playing in the house growing up. I just realized I don't own any of his music today... I need to change that

Tony Bennett was Truly one of the All-Time Great male singers, and a person loved by everyone.
A long lived life but just a sad way for anyone to leave this world. RIP Tony.

Yes.

Actually, my mom was also ?over there? in the employ of the the United States Civil Service, in both the Atlantic and Pacific theaters.

My parents met in Okinawa, decoding Japanese military messages for US Army Intelligence.

Maybe I?ve said of this before.
