A note from Roy's daughter:
Just correcting info for Roy Barrow. I am his daughter, Gloria. My dad's remains have not been found as of this date 09/27/12. There is a possibility that his remains are in the Punchbowl in Hawaii, but there is no definite proof since most of the 800 or so buried there have not been able to be identified.
The latest update on Roy Edward Barrow:
My dad Roy Barrow has been MIA in N. Korea since 1950. I thought you might like to know I received word a month ago that his remains have been recovered and positively identified. I expect that I will be able to lay him to rest sometime in Jan. 2024.
