I always sent him a message on his birthday as a member here. This last birthday I was surprised not to recieve the usual reply. His name was in the last Quartery Semper Fidelis Taps. I had served with his Father a Warrant Officer back in AES 41 Cherry Pt in 1947. I also served with his Uncle a Warrant Officer in VMO-6 1953 during the Korean war. They were a Marine family !! They are surely missed !! RIP Semper Fidelis & God Bless!!!
Re: Msgt Ernest Needham
I see my reply on Popasmoke was deleted Paul, so if you didn't see it I was saying how I have exchanged
several emails with him since my awakening in 2009 and started using computers.
I was sure he didn't remember me but as my first line chief when I hit HMX-1 in Jan. 1967 there was no
way I would ever forget him.
