Herbert Stapleton was born March 20, 1920 in Warrenton, Georgia, the last child of nine born to Ed and Martha (Hall) Stapleton. He passed away Tuesday, April 2, 2019 at the blessed age of 99 years.
Herbert was one of the last few living World War II veterans drafted in 1940. After his time in the military, he worked as a construction worker, mechanic, and truck driver for Saginaw Asphalt – Lois Kay well into his 80s.
