      Killed? Accident? Sorry for your loss and I thank him for serving!

      I was wondering the same thing.

      Unless I'm mistaken, from the gist of the hand written letter, the gentleman was killed while serving on the ship. The letter relates what happened on that day.

      Off topic--But that is the best looking guy I've ever seen. Did you inherit those looks. I had a wonderful dad too! Movie star looks... Men are not as good looking I guess as in much earlier says! That is great you have a letter from his friend. I have no mementos whatsoever from my dad and I wish I did They would be able to touch my heart on a daily basis. Thanks for sharing!

      OOOPS--Meant to say "Men are not as good looking,I guess , as in much earlier days" Dad, is a "dreamboat" of a sailor!
