Eck Hayes Service A funeral service was held Tuesday, June 4, 2013, for Moody Echol Hayes, USMA Class of 1955, at Fort Rosecrans National Cemetery, Point Loma, San Diego, Cal. Actual inurnment was to follow in the near future. Weather cooperated with a beautiful day, and the Honor Guard looked neat and well schooled. Gary Hayes, Eck's son, gave a loving and praising eulogy of his father, which in sum showed Eck's love of his family and country, as well as an unswerving sense of duty. Kitty Hayes received our nation's flag honoring Eck's service. Daughter Leslie Wolf and her husband Andrew were present, as well as grandson Brent. Kitty's brother, Fred Ploetz, also attended. A large contingent of brothers from E Clampus Vitus, a fraternal organization of which both Eck and Gary were members, provided strong support to the family with their presence and words of condolence. The service and presence of family and friends honored Eck Hayes well for his lifetime contributions. The Class of 1955 was represented by Edgar (Bud) DeMaris, Co. I-1. Respectfully submitted, Bud DeMaris |
