Stephen Wallace Nettleton

Stephen proudly served in the United States Air Force as a medic for twenty- two years and served as a Vietnam medic for one year. He was incredibly proud of his military career as he would talk about it frequently. He enjoyed sharing stories and memories about the time that he had in the United States Air Force. Following his military service, he continued his passion and stayed with a career in the medical field as a Laboratory Technician for an additional twenty years until his retirement in the early 2000s. Mr. Nettleton loved his family and was a very family oriented man. He loved to travel and he was very fortunate to have lived overseas for years and continued to travel to many places throughout the world during his life. His smile would light up a room and he was always able to make everyone laugh with his silly sense of humor.
