He was a good and decent man who gave so much to his community. We lived rural in the 1960's until the city caught up with us. SoCal boomed big-time back then.
Anyway, he died a Limbaugh fan but I can't help think he would be horrified by tRump.
In fact, I know he would be.
He was a rightwinger but not the current version.
This is what I'd like to think.
I miss him.

I'm not sure what he would think about what is going on. I fear he may of liked rump (?). He died so long ago (when I was 14) I can only speculate. But he was an Archie Bunker type of guy for sure.
I'm sorry to say that I think both our fathers would of voted for rump.

(9,898 posts)My grandfather served in the Navy on a escort carrier and participated in the Battle off Samar, his brother served as a Marine and island hopped through the entire Pacific Theatre during WWII. They were all democrats and union men before and afterwards.
I doubt if your popps or my grands could conceive of of a pro Nazi president.
As a kid I lived rural (Hacienda Heights pre I-60), and since the beginning of the 20th century my family roots are East L.A.
My dad served in the Air Force, and every time l loadout and say good by I fear I wont get to see my own popps again.

Uncle George was in Wichita. He was good at typing and shorthand so he did office work.
Both gone a long time now but certainly not forgotten.
