God Bless the good. I only knew Paul through the 'net. He was always "up" and nary a word of his long time ailment.
May God Bless him, his family, our country and our Corps.
Oh boy! More Ham 'n Muthas
Semper Fi, Colonel, Semper Fi.
Col. Paul L. Moreau
Worked for Paul Moreau, HMM-362 Maintenance Officer, 1963-64, Santa Ana, Ca. The maintenance office was limited in desks and chairs for the junior officers assigned. We would utilize his chair & desk when he was out of the office. Us Lieutenants were always in trouble, as Capt. Moreau would charge through the office door, head for HIS chair, and say " get your f****** a** out of MY CHAIR! Needless to say, the Maintenance Officer's chair remained mostly unoccupied when his was away.
A great UH-34 pilot, and a superb Maintenance Officer.
Very respectfully,
G. Larry Larkin
USMC (Retired)
