Cambrian says,

My Father died a month and 10 days before I was born. He was 23 in 1943. It was a hot July night in Aurora , Ill. All the industrial plants in town were going 24/7 to fuel the war effort. My Father was suffering from Asthma and that night his heart gave out.
They would not take him in the Army because of his condition. He and my Mom and my Grandfather worked at Thor Power Tool making munitions. He was an indirect casualty of the war. A hero in my eyes.
