I am sure many of you heard this. Just thought I would share his obituary. He was a great Naval Historian and his books "The Last Stand of the Tin Can Sailors" and "Neptune's Inferno: The U.S. Navy at Guadalcanal" have been read by me and my son. His dramatic narrations of the War in the Pacific will surely be missed.

There are two types of people who do not get far in life, those that can't do what they are told and those who can do nothing else.

He will be missed.

I literally bought The Fleet at Flood Tide last week. Had no idea he had passed.
