- A nearly 100-year-old local Marine in hospice was hand-delivered the high school diploma he never received.
98-year-old Richard Remp didn’t get a diploma back in the 1940s because he dropped out at age 17 to serve in World War 2, then Korea, then Vietnam. Today, he savored the remarkable moment.
Remp, who goes by Gunny since he was a decorated gunnery sergeant in Vietnam, is at home in hospice. He fell a few weeks ago, and that’s when doctors discovered stage 4 cancer throughout his body.
