 Additional Information
Last Known Activity:


My father remained for the most part quiet about his war service, occassionally a story would come out - usually from another source - typical of this quiet man.

His nickname was Jack.

Served aboard the USS South Dakota during World War II- an Electrician's Mate.  

He returned to New Jersey Bell Co. after the war, moved to Florida with Southern Bell/ATT and retired there.

Anyone who has any knowledge of my dad or his time in the Navy please contact me.
