Dallas Center IA 515-720-2463 | There are eight of the 140 original Toccoa men of Easy Company still alive, and who have a Wikipedia piece. Charles E. Grant, Dewitt Lowrey, Donald Malarkey, Albert Mampre, Edwin Pepping, Edward Shames, Paul Rogers, and Edward Tipper.
There are 16 men who where members of Easy Company still alive.
I am really surprised there are that many still alive.
With the death of William Guarnere, I feel Don Malarkey is by far the best known.
I have not been much of a TV watcher, and have not had other than 'free TV' until moving into town last fall.
When Band of Brothers was on TV I never saw any of it. But I had heard of it.
About two years ago I picked up the DVD box in at the Wal-Mart. Best $44- I ever spent.
Took that thing home and watched the whole thing in one sitting, I believe eight disks. Just could not stay away from it.
And that time was longer than the air time as I was doing some internet looking also, mostly Wikipedia.
The people born between about 1900 and 1930 lived and did at lot to make this a better place.
List of living members of Easy Company, not all were members from the Camp Taccoa start:
