VFW "Over There" Post 112
Chaplain's Corner
Our Post Chaplain is Comrade Chaplain Bill Gale. He may be contacted in any of the following ways:
Cell Phone: 316 619-4827
Home Phone 316 943-9539
e-mail CHAPLAINBILL112@cox.net
If there are any members or ladies auxiliary that are ill, in distress or have passed away, Chaplain Gale would like to be notified. He wishes to be able to speak with the ill or family so he may offer comfort and solace. This is especially true of members/ladies auxiliary who are no longer active or have moved from the Wichita area, but this of course applies to all our members. Chaplain Gale and the Post are concerned about our members and wish to be informed of their condition. Be certain to tell Chaplain Gale if you wish to have the information posted in the Chaplain's Corner so that all our members can keep the member and family in our thoughts and prayers or offer any assistance.
Our Post has suffered another loss as Life Member and Past Commander Orlin Wagner passed away on Sunday January 22, 2012. Orlin had been active for many years from the Post to National levels; he was an active supporter of the VFW. A Memorial Service has been scheduled for February 2 at Downing & Lahey Mortuary East. His presence and services will be missed.
We have lost another member of our Post family. Past Commander and Life Member John Ward passed away on December 12, 2011. John had not been into the Post much because of his health, but he did manage to stop in for Sunday brunch regularly before his passing. John was an active member and supporter of this Post and he will be missed.
We regret to announce that we have lost another member of our Post family. Terry Johnson passed away on Thursday November 24, 2011. Terry served in Korea in the Air Force as a tail gunner on B-26 Bombers. He was a long time member and everyone knew him when he entered the Canteen. For years Terry had a garden and would bring vegetables to Post members. We will miss Terry's presence at the Post.
Visitation will be on Tuesday November 29 from 5:00 - 8:00 PM at Lakeview Funeral Home. Services will be on Wednesday November 30 at 10:00 AM at Lakeview Funeral Home. The Post will host a Memorial Dinner and Remembrance of Life in the Canteen at 1:00 PM following the Funeral.
We lost another member of "The Greatest Generation" and a strong supporter of our Post. Jack Bradley, a World War II Navy Veteran, passed away Sunday August 21. He cared deeply for his Post and contributed to it in many ways over the years. He has been a member of Post 112 for over sixty years. He would always say as he pointed to the doors, "the greatest guys in the world walk through those doors". Well, we just lost one of the greatest guys, we'll miss you, Jack. There are no services pending, but we will have a remembrance and celebration of life at the Post in the near future.
On Friday September 23, during dinner, we had a moment of silence and a prayer for Jack by Chaplain Gale.
On Saturday October 29, members, ladies auxiliary and the family held a remembrance/celebration of life for Jack Bradley. It was a moving event as we shared stories and anecdotes of Jack's life. We would like to thank all that participated in the service.
