The above link goes to the USSVI (United States Submarine Veterans, Inc.) Facebook page where their members who have gone on “Eternal Patrol” are noted.

I’ll keep my work here going, trying to get others who were not USSVI members. You’re encouraged to look there as well as here! Obviously, there’ll be some I miss and some I duplicate.

CHALMERS .. .. .. Henry B. Chalmers III, lovingly known as Sandy, was promoted to heaven on February 16, 2026, at the age of 82. He was born on December 24, 1943. Henry lived a life marked by courage, adventure, service, and generosity. A proud United States Navy submariner, Henry served his country faithfully for 18 years, including during the Vietnam War. The strength, discipline, and quiet bravery he carried as a submarine man stayed with him for the rest of his life.
After his military service, Henry stepped into the early computer industry in the 1970s. He worked with Texas Instruments and later Hewlett-Packard, traveling all over the world during a time when technology was just beginning to reshape the future. He embraced innovation, loved the adventure, and was never afraid to step into something new.
Henry was a builder in every sense of the word. He loved to build houses - and he built every home his family ever lived in with his own hands. He didn't just construct walls and roofs; he built safe places, strong foundations, and memories that will last for generations. If something needed fixing, designing, or figuring out, Henry was the man for the job.
He had a deep love for hot rods and could often be found working on his cars, always improving, always tinkering. He was adventurous and willing to try anything at least once. But above all, Henry loved to help people, expecting nothing in return. That quiet generosity defined him.
One of nine children - six boys and three girls - Henry grew up in a large family that shaped his loyalty and strong sense of commitment. Family was always at the center of his life.
Henry spent 50 years with his loving wife, Caroline. Together, they built a life filled with love, adventure, travel, and service to one another and to those around them. They were a beautiful example of devotion and partnership; anyone who spent time with them could see it and feel it in the way they cared for each other.
He leaves behind his loving wife, Caroline; his children, Doug Chalmers, Henry Chalmers IV, and Dawn Chalmers; his three grandchildren, Samantha, Jamie, and Henry V; and his three great-grandchildren, William Jr., Jackson, and Jayden, along with his brothers, sisters, and extended family.

Jeffery is also survived by 21 Great Grandchildren and 3 Great-Great-Grandchildren as well as numerous nieces and nephews. Jeffery joined the United States Navy in 1958 right after graduation from Belle Chasse High School. While in the Navy, he proudly served aboard the Nuclear Submarine USS Swordfish in Hawaii. He married his High School Sweetheart, Carolyn “Snookie” Boudreaux in 1961 and started his family. He was honorably discharged in 1965 from the Navy and moved back to Belle Chasse. In 1965, he started his career at Avondale Shipyards. He retired in 2006 as General Superintendent of Test and Trials. He was a Master Shipbuilder with 41 years of service. After the death of his first wife, he married his 2nd love of his life, Nona Lane Boudreaux. Jeffery enjoyed camping with friends during his first marriage. Later in life, he traveled from Louisiana to Florida, watching his kids play baseball and never missing games. Throughout both marriages, he never missed bringing his wives to all their Doctor and Dialysis appointments. Later in life, he became very fond of his beloved dog, Booker-T. As a father, he instilled in all his sons a work ethic to rival the Best of the Best with a saying, “Let Common Sense Prevail”.
