PAULA HELM MURRAY wrote on June 28, 2000 City and State: KANSAS CITY MO Unit: Service or Relationship: FRIEND OF VETERAN Comments: My papa is a member of the Grim Reapers, and flew/survived his missions in Korea. He is not going to survive his current battle with bone cancer. His name is Ralph M. Helm. I wish I had asked more questions sooner, I'm not sure how much of his photo book I can have him help me decipher before he passes. You all did a good job for the US and I respect you all. Any info on my papa's service would be appreciated: Postscript from Paula, April 18 2001 my papa died the last day of July, 2000, sort of peacefully, the cancer took away any feeling and personality a couple of days before he died. Ralph Marion Helm passed to his maker and he is sorely missed, almost a year from his death. He was proud to be a Grim Reaper, but he never told us of this until it was almost too late. Emails from anyone who knew him would be greatly appreciated. Keywords: Grim Reapers, Ralph M. Helm
