Arthur K. Cebrowski

Art was a wonderful man and my sponsor at St Luke´s in McLean, Va. I´ll be 63 in two days and I see Art passed away at this same age - far too young. Thank you sir and God Speed.

ADM Cebrowski was the finest CO I ever served with, especially going through the first Gulf War on the USS Midway. The performance of the old war horse CV-41 was phenomenal under his leadership. With the passing of time and experience, there are those times you look back to moments that are the pinnacle in your life. My tour with ADM Cebrowski was it.

The last time I saw Art and Kathy was at their wedding. I happened upon this news on the Internet and was sad to learn how young such a fine man was lost. I live in Cape Elizabeth Maine and would love to have you visit if you ever get up this way. . . ROsemary Leitner Townsend

RIP Art - HHHS '60.

It sure has been a while, and a lot has taken place since the Admiral passed on. Funny thing is, I don't believe any of it would have surprised him. I hope your family and loved ones take an additional and continued measure of comfort from the tremendous positive effect you had - on people more than anything else. Thanks for sharing him with us.

Even after all this time his effect on the Navy is still being felt in such a positive way. No doubt, his legacy as a Sailor and more importantly as a human being will continue to be felt for years.

Wow... you lose contact with someone for a few years and this is the way you find them.

I too was Navy, but I never had the pleasure to serve under ADM Cebrowski. I was a submariner. I did however know his daughter Kristy well enough to know he was one top-notch father. He had to be to have helped in raising someone so nice and good as I have always known my friend Kristy to be. My own father, also Navy, passed when I was 20. So I have been there.

I am late in finding this out,...

We crossed paths several times during his career -- as served in the same corners of the Navy -- until he went to joint & OSD as a Flag. Like him I flew missions in VietNAM -- and spent a lot of time "in side the Beltway" -- beginning as the Secretary to the Acquisition Review Board when it was first established, & three NAVAIR aquisition program manager tours (XFV12, Special Msn acft & TACAMO).
Can't recall when I first met him -- either when I was on COMNAVAIRPAC staff -- or as a PM --...
