Joseph H. Quencas was born in New York City. At the time of his enlistment in the Army, he had graduated from City College. My brother came from a family whose father and mother immigrated to the U.S. from Greece. My brother was sent to a bombardier school where he graduated in 1943 and was sent to England. He flew over the European area in a B52 bomber. HE flew 32 missions and was sent home for R&R. In 1944 he was on a routine training flight in Midland, TX, when the aircraft crashed and all on board were killed. He was an exceptionally loving son and brother. May his soul rest in peace.
