Military Service
During World War II, Foy hoped not to get drafted. He had planned to join the Merchant Marines but was drafted into the Air Force. Foy's sister Helen Loftin White said of her brother, "He was in the military less than a year - and ready to go oversees - when he died in the auto accident while on a date." According to a story that was passed on to me by James Loftin (Foy's nephew), there were actually several young people in the car when the accident occurred. Apparently Foy was thrown from the car and the others left him unattended while they went to get help. After a lengthy time, help arrived, but it was too late for Foy. Foy Max Loftin died 01 Dec 1943 at 11:30 PM when the "auto ran into a telephone pole". The death certificate lists the cause of death as an "intra-cranial hemorrhage; shock; fractured skull; fracture of clavicle". He was 21 years old at the time of his death. The death certificate incorrectly lists his mother as Alice Griffin - instead of Alice Josephine Gilleland. Foy Max Loftin Death Certificate
