Where's the man that started the OFC?

[Major Tom]

A few years back, there was a WW2 veteran who was a machine gunner on Iwo Jima. He started a club which a lot of us joined called OFC (old farts club). What ever happened to him?

[Merc]

I sincerely hope he’s still with us, but someone who joined the US military in 1943 at the age of 18 would now be 95 years of age. Sadly, the members of the “Greatest Generation” will soon be a memory.

Clyde? He was posting on other sites, but now that he's been mentioned I'm unable to recall how recently.

Thomas Clyde Reedy, Jr. of Waco, Texas died 19 March 2016 in Denton, Texas. Clyde enlisted in the Marine Corps soon after he graduated from Waco High School in 1943. He was a Machine Gun Squad Leader and was severely wounded in action on Okinawa. Following his recovery he was stationed in China until his Discharge in 1946. A "China Marine" to the end! A good friend and a Hell Of A Marine. Semper Fi. B.Berry

Thank you B. Berry for the update about Clyde.

I miss his occasional emails. He was a very, very good man.

Did he sign on as “Clyde in Dallas”.

Memory is fuzzy, but I'm thinking he signed in as Clyde in Texas or East Texas?
Could be several Clydes with different regional markers. Or, perhaps he had login problems and had to make a change to get back in?

There was a user Clyde from the Texas who last logged on in 2012.

I believe it was Clyde Reedy.
