My Grandfather Rual Carl Stover served with him on the 6th Patrol of the U.S.S. Drum. I would have loved to talk to him and see if he remembered my Grandfather, considering they were in close quarters on the submarine for such a long period of time. God bless.

The Manhattan College alumni community shares the grief, and is now praying for our fellow alumni and the family at this time. The Alumni Office has been informed. As well as the Jasper Jottings community that I personally can reach. We are all a little poorer now. "No man is an island, entire of itself ... any man's death diminishes me". We are sorry for your loss.
