When Ed Funderburk, whose address is Mt. Gilead but lives on Lake Tillery above the entrance to Carolina Forest, realized he was working to possibly sell a home for a veteran, he had an epiphany. He had always been interested in military history and he was an avid model fighter jet airplane builder. The client, Paul Norman, was a World War II veteran. Norman owned a sheet metal fabrication business in Charlotte and wanted to sell an old house he owned.
It took some time, but the day came when Funderburk was to meet Norman to discuss the selling of the house. “Paul is 94 years old, I think, and he had gone to work every day until he was 93 years old – That’s what that generation did,” Funderburk stated, not knowing he would soon find out his newly found friend was in the military and was part of what historians refer to as “The Greatest Generation” in American history.
