And up next, the story of a son paying tribute to his father. Tim Luliet is a former automotive executive, and here he is on his father Chet and how he shaped his life. I was born in West Virginia. My father had come back from World War II. He had enlisted his senior year of high school.
Interestingly, he on December eighth, nineteen forty-one, he said to my grandmother, "I am going to enlist," which was not something she was all happy to hear, you know. Because she needed his signature, she needed to sign off on that. He needed her signature, I should say. And she said, "I'll let you go, but please let let them keep you here through Christmas, so we can have Christmas together." And and then he went off and fought in the European theater. You know, was did the D-Day thing, a lot of battle stars, and you know, did his did served his country.
It's interesting the things I found out after he passed away, which is a kind of a message I think to all of us. When my mother passed away, she had things still from my dad that you know, as an only child, I picked up and brought home. I knew he was injured in the war, but I found an envelope with a bullet in it that he had. He had. You know, been hit with.
He never talked about that. He didn't view, and he wouldn't accept a Purple Heart because he just didn't think it was right. My dad talked about that and said, given what had happened to some of his friends and the people he served with, that what happened to him didn't deserve. He didn't deserve it.
So, and it just so the medals, my father's medals, are hanging on the wall there. And you see, the Purple Hearts not in there. It was sort of like, you know, that's not that bad. You know, my dad's my dad's view of medical treatment was very simple: forget about it and go away. And that was his view of all medical treatments, and that's how he viewed his injuries in the war.
And when he came back from the war. The train brought him into Clarksburg, West Virginia, where we lived, and he took the bus back from from the bus station to where my grandparents lived. They had a big sign welcoming me home, and they had all the relatives there welcoming me home. And he never got off the bus because he said, "I know that when I get off the bus, I'm just going to be a poor boy in West Virginia again." And lifestyle of living, and doing all the horrible things, and and and and all the elements of war, also changed a person. And he saw the world; he saw a different perspective than he never expected to see.
So when he came back, you know, he he knew he had to be more than just. When our family had always been in West Virginia, but he was handicapped because he didn't even have a high school education because he had left that senior year. Eventually, left there as he kind of followed some dreams. My mom and I, and just the three of us. The only thing I remember is that we didn't have much money, but we had a lot of love, you know, in the household.
And so there were Christmases. There wasn't much under the tree. There was times when we didn't even have a house. We slept in the car. But you know we persevered, and we never thought of ourselves as poor or, or not having things.
It just was you know that's was life, and then ended up in Michigan in my high school years. My dad sold potato chips and drove a truck, sold potato chips. But he he was a man of tremendous heart. There's stories I can tell you. I still cry when I tell them.
It's um. He was a a mason and a shreiner. It was it was Christmas and I was in high school, and there was a knock on the door on Christmas Eve, and it was a family with a small child who had owned a small little store in Silver Lake, Michigan. And my dad sold potato chips, and during that time he was there, he saw that this child was born with some birth defects and was unable to walk. And to these people, poor people running a small little store, it seemed like they were just given this burden for the rest of their life.
And my dad, because he was always optimistic, he says. I'm a Schriner. We have a Schriner Hospital. We can fix this problem. Not knowing that he wasn't a doctor, not knowing if it was that was possible, so he arranged for the mother and the baby to go down to to Chicago at the Schriner's Hospital, and they figured out that within a series of surgeries that the boy would be fine.
So, on a Christmas Eve. The door is. Knock on the door. This couple with their baby and a food basket, and they said, "We don't have much, but we want to thank you for giving us the life of our son." And we all cried, as those things happen, and. Afterwards, she said, "That's the gift of Christmas." Anyways, that's my dad.
That's just the way he was throughout his life, and and my mom was sort of the the the disciplinarian and the rule maker in the house. Because he was always there helping people, you know. I mean, he'd walk into a room and everyone knew him. Everyone knew Chuck, and and he was and he's probably a role model that the world needs more of. You know, I remember when when I was a little kid, we had a thing called the Weekly Reader, and the Weekly Reader was a Kind of a newspaper for kids that you know, topics of what was going on, and it was a dollar to to buy it for a semester or what have you of school, and to pay for that, my dad gave up his lunch one day.
You know, so I mean, that's the kind of life we live, and I said, you know, that's that's a. As you get older, said you know, I don't think this is fun. I think there's we need to have a little bit more flexibility in life, you know, and and so so yeah, not much money, but a lot of love. But he just had that he had that smile, he had that warmth, and you know, as I said, I think going through the years when I was in high school, this was the '60s. You know, he never made over twenty thousand dollars a year in his life.
But he was a very wealthy man because, to this day, people reference the time they met him or talked to him, etc. When the war was over, he never got on a plane again, and my mother never was on a plane until they retired. And Cindy and I gave them a gift to go to Normandy. And it's the first time my mom was on a plane. The first time my dad had been on a plane since World War Two, and so that was kind of life they lived.
He still fit into his World War Two uniform when he died. It's still hanging in my closet. I still have it.
So he never gained weight, which is again atypical of most people. They both lived on until their until their eighty. My mother lived until she was ninety. Four, and left a great legacy for me and the family. And great job as always by Alex.
And a special thanks to Tim Luliet. My goodness, you got a picture of his dad. What he did with the Purple Heart, just didn't want to accept it. Didn't think it was right. His son said he didn't deserve the Purple Heart, given what happened to others he served with.
That was that was just the way his dad thought. And war changed him. He wanted to have a different life, and as he saw it, a better life. As his son said, "We were never rich. We didn't have much money, but we had a lot of love." He said that at least three times.
And so, when people are talking about privilege, I'm not really sure what they're talking about. What a privilege to grow up in this family. He never made more than twenty thousand in a year in his entire life. His son said, but he was a wealthy man. My goodness, that gift of a trip to Normandy—you couldn't get a better gift for a guy.
They didn't travel a lot. They weren't foodies. They didn't taste a lot of wine, but they tasted a lot of life. A beautiful story, a beautiful father-son story. Tim, Juliet, on his dad, Chet, a potato chip salesman who changed the world around him.
