My dear friend, Lester Tillman, that I flew with on Crew 6in VP-11 died a couple of days ago. I am working with his grand-daughter to help the family raise money help defray his cremation and other end of life expenses.  

The last time I saw Lester we both flew back to Maine to scatter the ashes of another Navy buddy and roommate. Now it is my turn to help Lester and his family.

Lester had suffered with many issues, but got clean and sober several years. The damage, from his demons has carried through to making this type of request necessary. Please help me, help the family of a Veteran in need.
