Plankowner Posts: 9164 Location: Upper lefthand corner of the map. | Subject: Eternal Patrol The following was sent to Seattle Base just a short while ago. I knew Bob and had visited he and his wife at their home in Seattle a good number of times. Bob Joined the Navy in 1946 and rode DD's and AO's before joining submarines. He qualified on his first boat, the USS Scorpion SSN 589 in 1963. He and his wife moved to NC to be near family. Message sent by his nephew. ============================== Robert C. Andrews, (MMCM SS ) better known to me as "Uncle Bob" passed away on February 19, 2019. He was living in Southern Pines, NC at the time. The past year or so, he had been fighting with the losing battle of Alzheimers Disease but passed into the Eternal Patrol peacefully in his sleep. Robert is listed as one of your life members and was forever faithful to spreading his love, and his joy as well as his stories from his many years proudly serving his country as a "Submariner". Can you please contact his fellow submarine veterans to share this information? I know he is now chasing those "fair winds and following seas" and looking for his favorite port of call. Thank you and all your members he was so proud to be associated with. Sincerely, Arthur L. Siehl, USN, 1965-1971. Hand Salute, Bob!! | ||
