Marine veteran receives high school diploma while in hospice

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.
