Does a good man’s life end at his death?The answer for daughter Lisa Reinicke was, “No.” Her father was known by manynames: Buster, Bill, Billy, Dad, and the Football Flyboy. His deeds, no matter how small,should be passed down to family, friends, and anyone looking for inspiration, andlife-lessons from one who worked, lived and part of the Greatest Generation. TheFootball†Flyboy†was young, newlywed and a pilot in WWII. He was a good man.One weekend morning, she determined that his spirit should not stay silent just becausehis mouth could no longer speak words. “I open my dad’s old air force footlocker - stillsolid, battleship grey, weathered, and a little rough from travel and age. His name is inwhite lettering on the front: First†Lt†William†R†CannonƆ”What she discovered were yellowed envelopes bound in twine - hundreds of them - thather father had written to her mother. Letters written daily during the last year of WWIIand received by his bride. Her daily letters disappeared - only three times during theyear, did the “mailman” catch up with him and teased with just a few of the hundreds.“Before reaching inside, there was a feeling of the hands of time grabbing onto my heart,knowing that this was such a huge part of not only his life but my mom’s as well.”Meet Bill “Buster” Cannon, the Football Flyboy … a good man with a good life who madea difference.
