In digging thru the safe for dad's will,

[mappow]

Dad passed at 0715 this morning. He has now joined his fellow shipmates that proceeded him including Adm ( Ret. ) G. P. March who was a close friend.

So very sorry to hear of your loss. But be proud in your fathers accomplishments and dedication to these United States of America. The few, the proud generation. Without them and their undying dedication and lives at times we would be a whole lot different. God Bless and may he rest with his brothers.
