Passed away April 3, 2005, at the VA Medical Center in Battle Creek, MI. R.C. Palmore was born November 2, 1919, the fourth of eleven children, to Henry and Delcie Palmore, in Hope, AR. R.C., the American Patriot, was a proud and decorated veteran of WWII. His combat experiences reaffirmed his faith in the power of prayer. He often acknowledged the fact that prayer brought him home.

(Mavis), Hildreth (Ethel) and Horace, and two sisters, Lucille (Clarence) Carter and Zelma (Earl) Sykes, all of Kalamazoo; and his nieces and nephews, who were all very special to him and will forever remember the good and fun times spent with "Uncle C."
