It is with profound sadness and anger that I report the death of fellow HMM-262 Crew Chief  - Kreig M. Loftin.

Here we are at an Old Tiger reunion several years ago when his book was published.  “Hip” titled it after the Lynyrd Skynyrd song - “Every Mother’s Son”.    He was registered to be at the reunion in Reno the other week…

“Well I've been ridin' a winning horse for a long, long time
Sometimes I wonder is this the end of the line
No one should take advantage of who they are
No man has got it made
If he thinks he does, he's wrong
Every mother's son better hear what I say
Every mother's son will rise and fall Someday
Lynyrd Skynyrd
