AOM3 US Navy

He enlisted in the US Navy in October, 1940, and later was transferred to an aviation unit. He died as a result of enemy action -- he was loading a shell into a gun on the USS Salt Lake City, when he was struck in the abdomen by enemy shell fragments. He held on to his shell to keep it from rolling aboard deck and harming his shipmates. Among his military awards and decorations were the Navy Cross; Purple Heart; American Defense Service Medal; Fleet Clasp; and the Asiatic-Pacific Area Campaign Medal.
