That’s according to conversation with John at a family reunion last year. John is still alive and living in Berlin, New Jersey. He will be 90 this month (Nov. 2013). John served in England while brother Fred served in the Pacific on the salvage seagoing tug USS Menominee. Brother-in-law Thomas J. McCormick served in Burma as a Combat Engineer after getting approved for service from 4F status after writing to President FDR (he only had one eye).
