marines – Noellie's Place

Little boy Bobby

This baby face I have never kissed but know so well as it is one I grew up alongside and then again held as my own.

His first tattoo was at the age of 14 in 1952 paying homage to his mother and brothers.
I assumed all dads were covered in artwork and words.

He began to tell me his story and it started with “Amazing Grace” his beautiful bride of 70 years. He never spoke of himself again, only her.
