He was a WWII veteran, suffered through the Bulge, severe frostbite, death all around him. Today we would call it PTSD.

My condolences, Skittles.

although if there was one thing that eased his mind, it was music, he had hundreds of 45's

I don't know how guys lived with the kind of memories your dad had.....just awful
