| 65 | 2 | Aug, 2009 | HALE, WILLIAM HAROLD | HQ CO | 2/12/2009 | Words cannot express my deep appreciation and admiration for the service and sacrifice of those who made our existence today possible. We owe a continuous debt of gratitude to those of the 106th and the many others in WWII for their willingness to defend and preserve our freedom. Yes, freedom is not free. My father did not speak much of the conflict but when he did I listened with great interest to his stories. He spoke of a three truck convoy returning from a delivery of supplies to the front lines. My father was in the middle of the convoy and as they rounded a mountain curve German tanks positioned below in the valley took out the first and third truck leaving my father to return to Headquarters. On another occasion my father and his buddy were left at a cross roads in the middle of enemy territory to guard a load of supplies with the promise that others would be along shortly to join them. After two days, my father"s buddy went to get help leaving my father alone. It was so cold and snowy that when the unit arrived my father was almost dead from exposure. He was taken back to the rear for recovery. Stories of sickness, dysentery, lack of ammunition and supplies, being out numbered and extreme weather give one a sense of wonder as to the success of our armed forces. I am convinced it was God"s hand at work. Our father is greatly missed by my mother and me. Thank you for keeping the memory and accomplishments of the 106th alive. by David Hale of Elizabethton, TN. | |

| ADD | HALLADAY, MAURICE ALBURTON 'BUD' | 81ST ENG/A | 11/27/2016 | Brattleboro - Maurice Alburton "Bud" Halladay, son of Gertrude F. Carey and Burton C. Halladay passed away on November 27, 2016. He was born on June 2, 1922 in Brattleboro at Melrose Hospital in what is now known as the Village Green in West Brattleboro. Bud moved to Willimantic, CT at the age of 5 and attended local schools there. Bud took swimming and boxing lessons as a young man from Frank Busch who was the former sparring partner of Jack Dempsey. His first job at age 14 was working at Henry Weir's fruit and vegetable store. Maurice graduated from Manchester High School in Manchester, CT in 1939. Upon graduation, he went to work at Pratt & Whitney where his co-worker, Bill Roberts wrote a note to a girl that Bud had his eye on asking her out. She responded that she would go out if he really did indeed write the note. As they say, the rest is history and Bud fell in love with Bernice Moushure. Bunny and Bud eloped to Hampton Beach, NH and got married on June 23, 1942. Their three daughters are grateful to Bill Roberts. Following their wedding, Bud enlisted in the army on December 9, 1942 and was assigned to the 14th Armored Division. He was sent to Camp Chaffee in Arkansas, where he was the first to fire a perfect score on the 30 caliber heavy machine gun. Upon completion of basic training, Bud served in the 106th Infantry, C Company where he achieved the rank of Tech. Sgt. and became a machine gun squadron leader. Maurice was stationed in England, France, Luxembourg, Germany, and Belgium. While he was overseas, Bunny wrote him a letter every day. Bud's mother had all three of her sons overseas for 14 months serving their country. Maurice was medevac'd out of the Ardennes just days before the Battle of the Bulge with a severe case of trench foot on both feet and frostbite on both hands. His 1st Sgt., James Faire carried him out on his back after a surgeon, a Lt. Colonel, who outranked Bud's commanding officer ordered him to an ambulance. Bud was sent to a French hospital where he was treated for his injuries for over a month. Meanwhile news reported that the 106th Infantry virtually was wiped out, 90% dead or captured. A Berlin broadcast said "the division had 11, 840 men on December 16th but 8 days later consisted of 212 men who are wandering about the Ardennes and are perishing in a snowstorm." Bunny finally got word over a month later that Bud was alive. After being discharged from a French hospital, he was first transferred to the base air depot at Burtonwood, England where Bud served as a priority NCO. He was then transferred to the 344th Bomb Group and worked in the statistical and personnel office. General (then, Lt. Colonel) Lucius Clay, Jr. offered him a direct commission and rapid promotion to Captain to serve as his adjutant, but Bud declined this promotion as it would delay his coming home. Returning home to the states, Bud embarked on a career as a mortician and by lunch time on his first day, he knew that this was not meant to be. He then went to work for the National Fire Insurance Company in 1947. Bud and Bunny moved to Brattleboro where he founded Halladay Insurance Agency and was President of the company until he retired on October 1, 1989. Bud was active in the community, he was a 60 year plus member of the Masons, Past President and Secretary of the Brattleboro Lions Club, served as both member and President of the Holton Home Board of Directors, served on the Swift Water Girl Scout Council Board, the United Negro College Fund Board, was a past President and Treasurer of the Meetinghouse Hill Cemetery Board, and a 50 year plus member of Centre Congregational Church. He also was a member of the local VFW and American Legion and was generous with his donations to national veterans' organizations. Bud was a voracious reader, loved doing crossword puzzles and word scrambles. He was a WWII and history buff especially local Brattleboro history. Bud also enjoyed his many trips to Scotland with Bunny. Bud leaves his three daughters, Donna Wells and husband Tom of Greenville, SC, Betty Henry, and Jean Gilbert and husband Tom of Brattleboro. He is also survived by his grandchildren, John Wells, Jean Wells Reilly, Jessica Wells, Michael Henry II, Rebecca Henry Shinn, Douglas Henry, Katie Gilbert Wellner, and Benjamin Gilbert. Known to his great-grandchildren as Great Bampa, Grampa, Papaday, Happaday, or Great-Pops, he leaves 11 great-grandchildren, Michael and McKenzie Reilly, Dante and Madison Wells, Lucy Davies-Wells, Griffin and Ashley Clark, Brooke Lewis, Charles and William Henry, and Hunter Gilbert. Spending time with his grandchildren and great grandchildren were his greatest moments of joy and he loved following all of their activities. He also leaves one sister Jean Wilson of Newfane, VT and many nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his parents, his brothers, Verne and E. Denman Halladay, his sisters, Beatrice Lange, Sally Hicking, Janice Carmichael and the love of his life for over 67 years and best friend, Bernice "Bunny" Halladay, his granddaughter, Jennifer Wells, and his son-in-law, Michael Henry. SERVICES: Graveside services to celebrate his life will be conducted Sunday, December 4th at 11:00 a.m. in Meetinghouse Hill Cemetery with full military honors. In lieu of flowers, please send donations in Bud's memory to the Lead The Way, an Army Ranger Foundation created to honor the memory of Sgt. James J. Regan, who was killed in Iraq in 2007.

He was the beloved husband of 56 years of Beatrice Mary Mayfield Hight (deceased) and devoted and loving father of Susan Hight (Michael Ortmeier) and Philip Hight. Jesse was born November 17, 1918 in Ladd, IL and graduated Salutatorian of his class from Hall Township High School, Spring Valley, IL in 1936. He enlisted in the U.S. Army and trained at Camp Wolters, TX in 1942 where he qualified as Marksman with the 1903 Rifle and was transferred to the Enlisted Reserve Corps. He re-enlisted in the Army in 1943 and trained at Fort Jackson, SC and Camp Atterbury, IN. Jesse married his beloved wife Beatrice in July 1943 and raised two children. Jesse deployed to Europe in October 1944 as a Squad Sergeant with Company A, 1st Battalion, 424th Regiment of the 106th Infantry Division (The Golden Lions). He saw combat in Belgium and fought bravely in the Battle of the Bulge where he was wounded in action at Schnee Eifel in December 1944.

He was captured on Dec. 16, 1944, a prisoner of war in Germany at Stalag IV-B from Dec. 1944 until May 1945. He passed away in 1984 from an accident at work. My father never spoke very much about the war, but did have some memorabilia, including his Stalag IV-B “dog-tags” which he always carried with him. He lost about 40 lbs. while a prisoner, but always said that he ate as well as the German population at the time. He also said that he and other prisoners were taken into towns to help clear roads, railroad lines, etc. after bombings by the Allies. I would like to hear from anyone who might remember my father.

Born and raised in Dallas, Don attended Armstrong Elementary School and graduated from Highland Park High School. He enrolled at the University of Texas at Austin where he was a member of Phi Delta Theta fraternity. The day after the attack on Pearl Harbor, he enlisted in the Army Reserves. In April 1943, Don was called to active duty and soon thereafter went to Europe with the 423rd regiment of the 106th Infantry Division. In December 1944, he was wounded, captured in the Battle of the Bulge and spent the next five months as a prisoner of war. For his service in the war, Don received two Purple Hearts and a Bronze Star. This experience forever changed his outlook on life, living every day thereafter as if it were a gift from God. Returning from the war, Don married his college sweetheart, Kathryn Buckley. While recovering in the hospital at Fort Hood, he commuted to Austin to complete his business degree at the University of Texas, where he graduated summa cum laude. He started his professional career by joining his father at Houseman & Company Insurance. In 1971 Houseman & Company merged with Marsh McLennan, the largest insurance broker in the world.

| 81 | 1 | Mar, 2025 | HOWLAND, EVERETTE W. | 422/L | 10/14/2024 | “Rick” Fusco, formally known as Americo Albert Fusco, was born on May 15, 1924. He went to be with our Lord Jesus Christ, December 6, 2024, at 12:43 pm, surrounded by his family at Good Samaritan Hospital in Puyallup, Washington, at the age of 100 years, 6 months. Rick was the last living sibling in his family of seven children. His parents, Vincenzo and Theresa Fusco, legally immigrated to the United States through Ellis Island located in New York Harbor in 1906. Rick"s father came first and then returned to Italy to marry Theresa and brought her back with him to the United States where they settled in Altoona, Pennsylvania. Rick would mention that his mom loved Jesus. He would verbally imitate her saying that in her Italian accent when sharing stories about her. Rick didn"t have a problem sharing the gospel with others. Rick also mentioned that his mom was a praying woman who every day interceded for her four sons who were drafted into WWII, that God would bring each home safely, and all four sons came home safely. With so many families devastated by WWII, his mom"s prayers had a profound effect on the lives of her sons. Rick was one of the sons drafted into the United States Army at the height of WWII and served from March 4, 1943 to December 6, 1945. His duties took him to the front lines, and he shared that during one battle he knew he would not make it out alive and told the Lord if He brought him through the war, he would serve Him full-time for the rest of his life. Following his military service, Rick went home to Altoona, Pennsylvania, and worked for the railroad for seven months before attending college at Capitol University in Columbus, Ohio, obtaining a Bachelor of Music/Arts degree. Rick eventually married his first wife Marylyn who died young from Stage 4 Hodgkin lymphoma. He remained single for five years before meeting his wife Leah through a mutual Christian friend. They crossed paths again when Leah was trying to set him up with a dear widowed friend of hers. Rick knew his own mind and decided he would rather date Leah even though her friend was a wonderful lady. It took some convincing but he and Leah married, and they remained married for 40 years. Keeping his promise to the Lord, he went into full-time ministry, serving the Lord as Music Director and Assistant Pastor in La Mesa, California, until he retired at the age of 67. Rick came from a heritage of longevity of life and the awareness of who Jesus is. His father Vincenzo Fusco was 87 (1886–1974) when he was struck by a speeding cab, and did not survive surgery. His mother Theresa lived to be 92 (1890–1983), passing peacefully when she went to sleep in her favorite chair. Other siblings included his brother Joseph “Joe” Fusco who lived to be 79 (1919–1998), John Fusco, 83 (1916–1999), sister Rosemary Schuster, 96 (1914–2010), brother William “Bill” Fusco, 91 (1926–2017), brother Anthony “Tony” Fusco, 104 (1915–2019), and sister Edith Earl, 101 (1922–2023). Rick was a person who would sing or whistle his favorite hymns, and there were many conversations around the dinner table about who Jesus was, how God had protected his life, and his desire with his wife to bless those who were less fortunate than they were. God greatly blessed their lives in many ways and for a person who had two quadruple by-pass surgeries by the age of 78, and at only 40 percent of his heart function, Rick was a walking miracle, blessed by God"s favor. At 80 years of age, he was on a ladder helping his daughter, Jamie, install a ceiling fan in her home. He was never one to sit because he could, but liked to use his abilities saying it kept him young. He didn"t care for computers or fancy phones, [technology] was always his wife"s job. When he was in the hospital many staff members would come by because they had never seen anyone who was 100 years old. We never really thought about his age because the only thing that slowed down was his body — his mind was crisp and clear. In fact, he was playing games with the family a week before he made his last trip to the hospital. He had a few trips to the hospital over the last three years and always came home. No one believed that this wasn"t just going to be one of those times and that he would be coming home once again. He passed into heaven with the same grace that he lived his life, giving 100 percent of who he was in all that he did. Rick is survived by his wife Leah of 40 years and 10 months (two peas in a pod), daughters, Jamie Pittman and spouse HG Pittman, Janet Smith and spouse Stephen Smith, eight grandchildren, Suzanne Valot, Natasha Hays and spouse Travis Hays, Jesse Valot and spouse Amber Valot, Nathaniel Egbert and spouse Diana Egbert, Shannon Couch and spouse David Couch, Preston Smith and spouse Kristina Smith, Courtney Carroll, and Zachary Smith, six great-grandchildren, Grace Valot, Xavier Hayes, Leilani Egbert, Trinity Couch, Cecilia Couch, Hazel Carroll, and many nieces and nephews. The thing about Rick is that just like Jesus, who was adopted by Joseph, Rick, who didn"t have any biological daughters or sons, inherited and embraced into his life Leah"s two daughters when he married her, and his family just grew from there. He was always a beloved and integral part of his family"s life, full of kindness, patience and the grace of Jesus rested on him. He and Leah visited many people with various needs, taking them meals and blessing others with their kindness and prayers. The family witnessed others returning the same kindness to them in their later years. Family and friends were blessed at the end of Rick"s life to serve his needs just like he served all of theirs during the 40 years he and his wife Leah were married. He never complained and even suffered gracefully. He is dearly loved and will be missed for a time, for we will meet again in glory, a place without pain or tears, in the presence of Jesus, living in the city of God for all eternity. To have known Rick was to love Rick, and to know Jesus, God the Father and the Holy Spirit, is to be amazed for the love He has for us. If there is one thing Rick would want to be said it is that there is nothing like knowing Jesus as one"s Lord and Savior. This life is just passing through to the place that is our eternal true home.

Survived by his wife, Mary Ellen Hughes, son Stephen T.

Hughes, Terry was raised in Philadelphia and New Jersey. He received a BSEE from Villanova University, and earned an MS in Engineering from Johns Hopkins University. He worked at the National Security Agency from 1963 to 1996. Besides engineering, Terry loved working with his hands, having manually built the house in which he and his family lived, and had been active with various projects on it until his illness struck. He enjoyed travel, particularly any that focused on the architecture and background of historical sites and/or concerning the country of his ancestors, Ireland. Though a man who avoided the spotlight, Terry made many long-time friends, largely due to his good nature and dry wit but also because of his readiness to help or guide anyone who needed it. His patience and humor never left him and will likely be what is most remembered about him. Growing up as one of nine children, Terry cared deeply about his large extended family, which included those he grew close to by marriage. Besides his wife and children, Terry leaves his grandchildren Joshua, Jordan (Ryan Rogers), and Madison Hughes, his brothers, Joseph Hughes and Daniel Hughes, daughters-in-law Leanne Hughes, Melissa Crosser Hughes, and numerous nieces and nephews. | |
