Diesel Friends
This Man is a True Hero and friend of mine.
He served in WWII Korea and Viet Nam.
He was the fourth man in the Navy to get the rank of Master Chief.
This is Not a Hoax.

 

My advice is get all of your buddies to check the roads starting with the most direct routes (even if backroads). Be especially aware of skidmarks, and broken branches on trees and shrubs in the strangest areas.

Motorcyclist work great for this type of search as they are able to see much more of the road and tend to be more observant of their surroundings.

Hope you find you buddy!! Our prayers are with him!

Spent most of yesterday doing just this but we live in a very wooded and steep area of the coast.

Thanks for the Prayers. Esp for his wife she is in shock.

 

Oh man, I am so sorry to read posts like this. Please let us know the outcome when it developes. Good luck.

 

I live in Eastern Oregon.
Is there a general search still ongoing?
Are they focusing on any specific area?
Is he the kind of person to pick up hitchhikers?????
Please post or PM the license plate #.
Has the Sheriff posted the info to the State Troopers?
Top 3 scenarios:
1.accident and in a hole off the road
2. Older guy gets confused, and drives off somewhere else, and is now actually prettty lost.
3. Hitchhiker/hijack scenario.

Our prayers here in this household are with your friend. I am a life member of the VFW, and a Combat Vet as well as experienced in SAR. If I can help in the search, let me know by PM.

 

Bills van was found 25 miles out in the mountains at the end of a logging spur road.
He had high centered it and trapped him self in it and it looks like it caught on fire due to friction of the tires spinning. A total burn out and it looks like his remains are in the ashes. The State forensic anthropologist will investigate to be sure.
Foul play is not suspected.

Please continue to Pray for his Widow.

Thanks All

 

sorry to hear that, prayers sent.

 

Sorry for your loss.

 

Very sad. It's a great loss for the whole country. Peace be with his wife and family.

 

That's terrible.

 

This is a terrible out come. I am very sorry to hear this. But I will say one thing he was found. To not find a missing loved one or friend, leaves one empty of the zest for life.

 

Tis very true. His Widow can start to heal the hole left in her heart.

 

This post has brought tears to my eyes.

My and my famlies' condolences for the loss of your friend.

Rick

 

Man! What are the odds of something like this happening? Is the family ok except for the grief of course? Can anything be done for them?

 

Prayers to the family.
