Synopsis

"My father nearly died of malaria in the jungles of World War II New Guinea." This is the opening sentence of This Tender Man - My Father's Story, the journey of an ordinary man thrown into war and forever affected by its cruel aftermath. It is a story of a Midwestern boy lovingly raised by Swedish immigrants, an adolescent coming of age during the early years of the Great Depression, a young adult whose innocence is shattered by war in the tropics of the South Pacific, a man selflessly committed to family and community in his post-war years, though haunted by the demons of war that followed him home, and a hellish descent into Alzheimer's in his final years. He carried throughout his life the characteristics of the "Greatest Generation" - service, hard work, and humility.
