He then strapped on his parachute and walked to his navy blue Corsair with his name on it, checked the tail number for 97127. He got in and flew off to his GLORIOUS ROLL CALL, "reaching out his hand", he saluted, reported in and "touched the face of God!"In lieu of flowers please make donations to YRMC Foundation.Please sign the guestbook at www.legacy.com/obituaries/yumasun/
