A veteran of WWII, 1Lt Joseph Henry French flew 35 missions over the European Theatre as pilot of his B-24 Liberator. After the WAR, he further served as a government lawyer for the Housing and Urban Development. Joeseph was a beloved member of the Olathe community, known for his endearing smile, humor, and zany wit.

His final wish, Joe will reunite with the vast skies and endless stars...and will finally earn his own pair of wings.
