My grandmother, Pauline, married your brother. She shared the story of your passing with me when I was young. She showed me your picture, the newspaper story, and the lock of your red hair. She then told me that my father was named for you, at your mother's request: Vinton Jerry Margretz
He was born April 23rd, 1926. He passed in 2015. Today, April 23rd, 2020, would have been his birthday.
Oh, I found him using his nickname: "Red"

Time may have passed but you are not forgotten. I believe as long as someone remembers you or speaks your name, you are still with us.
Thank you for your heroism.
GOD Bless

Patrolman Margretz,
On today, the 83rd anniversary of your death, I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice-not just for your community, but also for our Country when you served in the USMC during WW I.
