IT IS MY SAD DUTY TO INFORM THE MEMBERS OF POPASMOKE, THE PASSING ON JAY BRANNIGAN. I BELEIVED THAT HE WORKED IN THE PAPA-LOFT SECTION OF HMM-263 DURING THE YEARS OF '66-'67.
MANY PEOPLE HAD LOST CONTACT WITH JAY, BUT WERE ABLE TO RENEW THAT FRIENDSHIP WHEN HE ATTENDED THE REUNION AT PENSACOLA IN 2002.
I WAS INFORMED OF HIS UNTIMELY DEATH BY RICH BUGGELLI ON 10/22. JAY PASSED AWAY AT THE VA HOSPITAL IN SAN DIEGO, CA.
HE WILL BE MISSED BY ALL WHO KNEW HIM.

GARY ALLS
HMM-263 '66-'67
