Jeffrey W. Waldron

Jeffrey was born on December 8, 1947, in Ashtabula, Ohio, a son to Carl and Katherine (Roach) Waldron.

Self was forgotten when he enlisted with the U.S. Navy to help defend our flag and to keep our country free during the Vietnam Conflict. He was assigned to the U.S.S. Ticonderoga Aircraft Carrier, an antisubmarine carrier CVS-14. His decorations and citations include the National Defense Service Medal, Vietnam Service Medal, and Meritorious Unit Commendation Ribbon. He was honorably discharged from his duties with the rank of Boilerman Petty Officer 3rd Class.

He fell in love with a gal by the name of Carol E. Phillips. They spent a lifetime together and eventually married on March 8, 2018.
