Utah family finally able to give proper funeral to veteran who went missing in WWII
PROVO, Utah — A Utah family didn’t know where their son, uncle, brother and cousin was for decades after he went missing during World War II.
“As we get further and further away, there’s hardly any World War II vets and we are still bringing them home, and I think that’s wonderful,” said Scott Bond, Pickup's grand nephew, whose grandmother was Pickup's sister. In 1944, Pickup was just 27. He was on a mission flying supplies between China and India during World War II when his plane went down in the Himalayas because of severe weather.
And now this weekend, in Utah, he received the burial he deserved, showing the legacy he left behind.
