I grew up calling both Mr & Mrs. Fanning (Mr & Mrs Sarge) as a child living across the street from their home in DC. They will truly be missed.
My condolences to the family. I just found out about Mr. Fanning passing. We served in Vietnam and I visited him and his family when I returned. I live in Virginia. A very nice and honorable man. God Bless the family. William C Viverette wviv0914@aol.com
