Darrel and Family,
My prayers are with you all.

Mr. Hurst was someone I met in the shipyard when I was hired in the Submarine Reactor Plant Dept. in 1964. He was a QID Planner and for some reason unknown to him, everyone in SRPD called him Bill. When I learned that his initials were J.C. I asked him how they translated to Bill and he said they don't.

I am truly sorry to hear about your dad. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Mr. Hurst, as we were always told to call him, and my father, Francis J. Nate, served in the Submarine Service together, thus my brothers, sister and I grew up with the Hurst Boys, and Lisa. And Ruby and my Mother, Jean, were really close.

It was an honor to know and love Mr. and Mrs. Hurst and their entire family. My condolences go out to all of their loved ones.

Hurst, as we called him, was always willing to lend a helping hand, whether it was fixing a car or fixing a broken pipe, he was never afraid to get his hands dirty. I remember the fun times we shared as couples playing cards and dancing. He and Ruby raised a wonderful family, God Bless you all.

I loved his stories about his time in the military especially WWII. I'm glad to have had him as my great-grandfather.
