I served with Walt Hoover in Vietnam, Co. C 2d Battalion 16th Infantry, First Infantry Division in 1968. He was a quiet guy who spoke with his actions.

Dick and his wife Marilyn are good friends
of myself and my wife Marilyn. Dick had a heart of gold and helped me many times laying out fence lines and building those
fences.
Dick was a very quiet war hero but a hero none the less. He will be missed by many
and our hearts go out to Marilyn and the
family.

Rest In Peace Dick

Roger and Marilyn Hill
