James McDaniel

My condolences to the McDaniel Family. I met Off. McDaniel in the early 70's in the Rocketry class in Elizabeth. He was an inspiration as seeing a kind, caring, confident, Black Man as my father was not in my life. He took so much time with all of us building the rockets and taking us to parks to launch them. He was the only Black P.O I ever got to know, and always remembered him. May he rest in peace.

Our Deepest Sympathy to the McDaniel family from the Shipmates of the USS Leonard Wood APA-12 WWII who fondly remember "Jimmy" as one of the ship's boxers.

To the McDaniel family ,I am sorry to hear of your lost. I have fond memories of "Officer Friendly"; just know that his memory will live on in all the lives he touched over the years. May God Bless the family through your time of bereavement.
