Under the Big W Leo N Wilcox

My father epitomized what Tom Brokaw has come to call "The Greatest Generation". He was honest and hardworking and had an unmatched love for his family and country. Like many others he was born into the height of the Great Depression and surrounded by poverty and chaos. At the twilight of his life, he remained exceptionally modest, because in a deep sense he didn't think that what he had accomplished was anything special. His approach to life was simple. He did not whine about being dealt a tough hand he just sucked it up and made it better. If you really knew my father you knew how sentimental he was. He really believed that it was important to keep the memory and spirit of his family alive. In an attempt to pass along the details of his family's life, he wrote this book. On April 11th, 2018 we will celebrate his 91st Birthday. I can only hope that his spirit and memory continues to live on through all of us.
