Ben,

Here is some further info and pictures in regards to my grandfather, William V Fahey. If you made a personal webpage that would be great. Born in Cork, Ireland on January 1, 1924, he was the son of the late James and Mary A. (Spriggs) Fahey. He was raised in Roxbury, Massachusetts and was educated in the Boston Public School System. William proudly served his country in the United States Army during World War II. He took part in the European Theatre of Operations with the 643rd Tank Destroyer Battalion and was awarded the Bronze Star twice by General Patton. He has been a resident of Walpole for the past 5 years and had previously lived in Wrentham and East Walpole. William spent his working carrer as a superintendent for Bird and Son in Walpole, which later became Champion International, where he served as the superintendent of the Box Plant in Winslow, Maine. He retired in 1986 with 41 years of service. While working in Maine, he became a member of the VFW in Winslow. He passed from this earth on Sunday, October 27th, 2013. The last photo attached is of William, his son Jim (my father) and myself. I am a Marine Corps Veteran who was a Rifleman with 3/6 Lima Company. I joined the service because of my grandfather. The third picture was William with his wife (my grandmother) Francis Fahey.

Thanks Again,

Jim Fahey
