DIED AFTER TOUR

Below is probably the most incomplete list I have on this website. Hopefully it is not the most inaccurate. We are attempting to identify all those 174th veterans who have passed away since their tour in the 174th. I realize this list will never be complete. When we know the date of death, that is listed below the name. If not an exact date, I list what we do know. For some, we have no information other than that the person has passed away.

The below list is alphabetical. Please let me know if you see any errors, or know of dates I do not have listed, or know of someone who is not on this list who should be. I will add names as I learn them.

Thanks to Mel Lutgring and Bernie Cobb for all of their hard work in developing and maintaining this list.
