Today, Ken's dad, William Arthur Nipper passed away. He was 84 years old. Bill had been in the hospital for a week after having fallen several times. The doctors thought he was having mini-strokes. Ken took several days off last week and spent each day with him in the hospital.
Bill was a World War II veteran and a former P.O.W. He would often tell the story about how his plane was shot down over Yugoslavia (he was a tail-gunner in a B-17) and the experience of being a P.O.W. He was proud to have been of service to his country and we were proud of him.
He will be missed.
