A measure of mans life is not only what he has acheived or accomplished but in the quality of his children. Your father must have been a great man.

Sorry to hear of your loss, Bruce.
In late '42 and part of '43, my father was in the same area as yours doing convoy duty. Perhaps their ships passed by each other.
