Shipmates of the USS REMEY DD688 offer condolences to the family of Sally & Jim Bentley. Sally and Jim did so much in forming annual reunions of Jim's ship, and Sally provided so much organizational help. Her laughter and social involvement made every reunion a success. Both will be missed, but their memories will forever remain.
