Top was my second 1st Sergeant. He was the best 1st Sergeant I had the honor to serve under. Always fair, and always willing to do whatever it takes to accomplish the mission. My only wish is I could have seen him one more time at our last reunion.
I can recall playing sports for the Redlegs and he'd be up there on the hill cheering us on. I do not think he missed a game, and if he did it's because he was out of Berlin. Just so you know Top I will see you one more time on Saturday when my wife Pam and I ride our motorcycle with the American Flag flying off the back in your honor. You will know it's me coming and you will know it's me saying a prayer for you. Rest in peace Top, we will all miss you very much.
Sincerely,
Ron Winters
