Officer Down Memorial Page

If Carl is who I think he is he served with my Dad in the Merchant Marine during WWII. He was my Dad's close friend and to the end of my Dad's life in 2004 he would get out pictures of him and Carl as handsome young sailors from various ships and Ports of Call. Telling the stories and looking at the pictures always brought a smile to his face. From my Dad's description of Carl I can"t imagine he would have wanted to go any other way. My Dad asked me to try to locate Carl in the year before his death and I did not find this page. I am glad I didn't. I am sure Carl and my father are swapping stories and riding vintage Indians in the great here after. My respect and condolences to Sgt Mayos family. Know that he had at least one friend out in the world that made sure his children and family knew he thought Carl walked on water.
Warm Regards,
