David Keckan

U.S. Army Descendant

My name is David Keckan. My grand father was Walter Neton. He served with he 101st air borne. After WWII he stayed in Germany until 1947 because he married my grandmother who he me overseas. She was from poland and he was from a polish family so as he said "it was love at first site" he passed away in 1987 (I was 8 months old). In 1947 he left Germany and came back to the states in Conneaut Ohio where he raised 4 kids (one being my mother). I have yet to speak with anyone that knows him but any ideas or one of those "i know someone, who knows someone" routines always are a great way to start. I have lots of info on him but not personally stories with indivuduals who knew him at war.
