country in World War II in the Navy and was aboard LST 353 when it sank at 
West Loch, Pearl Harbor in 1944. He was very active with RSVP and drove the 
teenagers near and far for activities.

visitor to those who were sick and to all his family and extended family and 
friends doing anything that was needed.
