So sorry for your loss Christine.
If I would have met him I would have thanked him for his dedication and
service to his country.

Hi Everyone:
Tuesday night, my dad—Charles S. Aguila--passed away. He was 84 and had
been suffering with congestive heart failure. My dad would have fit right
in PDML. He had a great sense of humor, was extremely generous, told
funny stories, and was a solid photographer in his own right. Someday, I’ll
scan some of his slides and post them; they are really quite good. He
used to shoot with a Minolta—I think. I don’t know if his camera is still
in the house.
Some of his funniest stories were about his paratrooper days. Dad served
in Korea, and when his tour was completed he reenlisted in the reserves,
went to jump school, and served as a paratrooper in the 12th Special
Forces. He never jumped during active duty, but he completed 60+ jumps
during his reserve service. He also earned Canadian wings during jump
school training in Canada. After 31 years of military service, he retired
Master Sergeant E9.
He is 81 in the photo below. When I took this photo three years ago, I
thought for sure he’d be around for a good while longer. He looks so fit
and young for 81. But in the last year and a half, his health turned. He
died at home with everyone near by and surrounded in love.
Love you, Dad! Miss you tons!
Christine
