Neil I. Prieskorn
My father in law and second father after my own fathers death. He died of complications from an infected heart valve.
Neil was married to and is survived by Virginia Prieskorn, his 7th grade sweetheart and wife of 57 years. He is also survived by my wife Margaret, her brother James and numerous grandchildren.
Neil served as a Marine Corp. Sgt. in WW II and Korea, seeing combat both during the island-hopping campaign against the Japanese and in actions against Chinese and North Korean army units. He has so many combat medals we had to build a plaque to hold 'em all.
After the Korean war Neil served as a firefighter until his retirement, eventually reaching the rank of Asst. Fire Chief and Fire Marshall. In this service Neil also distinguised himself, which resulted in a second plaque full of service medals.
His son James still serves as a firefighter in a nearby city.
Neil was one of the best men I have ever known and he will be dearly missed.
Semper Fi Neil......
