Obituary for Towne


Published in the Albuquerque Journal on Friday April 14, 2000

Maurice H. Towne, Jr. Lt. Col. USA Ret. November 1, 1917 - April 13, 1999With the long struggle passed, you turned to answer a higher calling and walked away; Your old friends and companions were waiting. Your parting has left us with a palpable emptiness; Clearly, an ache that never forgets, nor relents. While you were here you led by example; Your guidon: honor, duty, integrity and principle. As we ponder our own calling, we thank you for what you have given us: Guidance, friendship and the wisdom to know you can't take anything for granted. We pray that we never lose sight of your footsteps....Rest in PeaceYour Sons
