CSM Speeds obit states that he served in the US Army and US Army Reserves from 1958 to 1997. 10th Group Bad Tolz and as an instructor at SWC. I didn't know him, but I'll go to the funeral home tonight...just 'cause. If any of you guys know him and want me to give your regards, PM me. I'll check my mail before I go. CSM Speeds obit is available at http://www.roanoke.com.

This is a little more direct.

I didn't know him, but he sounds like a good man.

It's nice that you are willing to pay your respects to the SGM.
