Sorry to crash your board, but this fine young man was also an APO brother from Lambda Phi chapter. None of the obituaries mention APO but they sent a beautiful flower arrangement and I met some of the brothers at the funeral home. They brought a beautiful picture board of some of their activities. He was also my cousin. He had graduated magna cum laude from EMU and had gotten engaged the week before his death.
