CAPT Dick Catone, USN (Ret) Seawolf 44
March 24, 2023
Glen, Dennis, and the Alkire family. Please accept my heartfelt condolences for the loss of your brother and loving family member. I had the honor of serving under Jim as my OinC of HA(L)-3 Det 4 Seawolves. He was such an inspiration to all. He was a heroic warrior and Naval Officer. Jim leaves a legacy of exemplary patriotism which will last forever.
May the good Lord ease your sorrow and continue to bless the Alkire family. Rest in peace, Shipmate.
