Pte. Delmar "Doty" Gaskin
US Army
from:Garrard County, Kentucky
"Doty" Delmar Gaskin is my ex-father-in-law. A finer man I have never met. I am glad my son Joseph Bryan Gaskin has his genes.
Doty was captured at the Kassarine Pass by Rommel's forces and was interned at Buchenwald Prison Camp, Stalag 3b. He survived after 27 months there.
"Doty" was known as the strongest (physically) man in Garrard County, Kentucky.
"Doty" was a brave, compassionate, caring, respectful, hard working man who did everything he could for his family. I know you are in heaven Doty and your ex-daughter-in-law gives you love and respect.
