Victor Springer

He kept this picture in the closet for over 40 years. It was taken in Vietnam in 1969. When we look into the eyes, we feel him near us, it’s no longer in the closet.
SON—He was the son of “Roy & Fern” Springer, born at home in Lakeside, MI on June 24, 1948.
BROTHER—He joined siblings Ralph, Darlene, Danny, Maureen, and a few year later Phil joined the group.
VIETNAM VET—He served his country in the 82nd and 101st airborne units. He seldom spoke of that time, or of the day he earned the Bronze Star with the “V” Device and the Purple Heart. He said that he wasn’t a hero, he was just keeping his guys safe, that’s what a sergeant is supposed to do.
HUSBAND—He married his high school sweetheart, Debby Schwark.
DAD—He was the father of two wonderful children, Michael and Michelle.
GRANDPA—He has four beautiful grandchildren Amber, Alan Drew, Emma, and Macey.
DONOR—He was always willing to help anyone. His family is proud that, even upon his death, he could do one last “act of kindness”. Now, someone else can see their world a little better.
