I am so sorry for your loss, I talk to him in the seventies. Since, I have been trying to locate his phone, address etc. when I got my Computer. I found him on U.S.S. LUZON CREW ROSTER ARG 2. Him & Me served on her in 1958. He ask me one time about my high School, I told him I was a proud ROOSEVELT HI CRIMSON TIDE. He busted out laughing “HELL NAUGH there’s only one CRIMSON TIDE & the from ALABAM” He retired NAVY Master Chief, I am a retired Police Captain. He was respected by all aboard Ship. May my buddy MO REST IN PEACE.

May you rest in peace our friend, until we meet again. We love you Mo. Laurie and Michael
