In 2008, I took it upon myself to write an article that I thought I would send to my old hometown newspaper. The article was to be about my experience as the son of decorated World War Two veteran, Maj. Roy Styffe.
My father, Roy, was decorated with the Distinguished Service Order. My uncle Edward was killed in Normandy when a vehicle he was in took a direct hit. So, you can imagine that world war two played an important role in my family. When I was 16, I accompanied my father and mother and the veterans of the Lake Superior Regiment on a tour to retrace the steps they took during the War.
I broke down and cried. I know this was part of the mourning process but it was also the knowing that I would not be able to express my appreciation to him. My father met my mother in St. John, N.B., where the regiment was stationed. She had also met his brother Eddie and she told me that they were sitting at the piano as he was musically talented. He told her that knew he would not return. Unfortunately, this proved to be true.
