From Warren Larson (11Feb2018 ): I recently learned that Robert "John" Amstutz has passed away. John served in the Aerorifle Platoon in 1968 - 1969. It was my good fortune to have served with him in the 1st squad.
John and his identical twin brother, Mike, not only looked identical, and sounded identical, they also lived together (neither was ever married), worked together in the same factory for 38 years, and each had an intense passion for cars (primarily Mustangs).
