To Ellen and family, I served on the USS Point Cruz CVE119 after Bob had left, However, I had the extreme pleasure of know Bob thru the USS Point Cruz Association and our reunions. Bob and I had some pretty exciting stories we told each other at the reunions. Even though we came from different wars, we as with all the guys that served on the Point Cruz considered each other as brothers. Bob was a great man and a dear friend. He will be missed by us all.
May GOD take care of him and Bless his loving family.

Secretary, USS Point Cruz CVE119 Association
