My Brother Passed On

Wednesday July 10th, 2019 my brother Chester Wood passed on to be with The Lord. We played music together for over 50 years. He was a real good Country singer. My brother bought me my first Steel Guitar. If not for him, I would have never learned the Steel Guitar. He always worked hard, was a family man, served the community and helped others. His death was from LouGerhrigs Disease and it was aggravated and brought on by Agent Orange that was used during the Vietnam War. He makes the 4th person that I have known that was a veteran of that era, that has died with similar side effects. I and many others will miss my brother. He was a Great Guy and gave to help others.

So sorry Terry to hear of your brothers passing. I read where he had ALS which is a terrible disease. I have had friends pass on with it. Sadly a persons mind is good while they lose all muscle control and cannot move. My heart goes out to you and your family. Prayers for all of you.

Godspeed Chester!

Thank you for your service Sir!

Sorry to hear of your brother's passing, Terry.

Agent Orange is responsible for many continuing problems. The damage is pervasive, the birth defects of the children born directly related to the chemical is horrendous.

The Nam Vets are compromised that were exposed to it.

I have a friend who was exposed to it, jumping out of planes in the Airborne divisions and today is suffering from the exposure to AO.
