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.
HAHN .. .. .. Amite, LA - Thurston H.G. Hahn, Jr., passed away peacefully at the age of 88 years on April 16, 2026, in Hammond, Louisiana. A native of New Orleans, he was the only son of Thurston H.G. Hahn and Marie Ruby Bergeron. After graduating from Holy Cross High School, "Huey" joined the Navy in 1956 to train as a submarine engineman. He qualified aboard the USS Trutta (SS421) and later served aboard the USS Sea Cat (SS399).
A longtime resident of Amite, Louisiana, Huey is survived by his wife Elaine Melba Parker; his children Thurston H.G. Hahn III and Karin Elaine Hahn (Gauthreaux); his grandchildren Laurin Ashlee Miller (Thompson), Lane Michael Ebert and Chloe Elaine Ebert; and great-granddaughter Reagan Iris Thompson.
MARTIN .. .. .. Kenneth Charles Martin, 82, of Syracuse, passed away April 12, 2026, surrounded by his loving family. Ken was born in Syracuse, New York on September 17, 1943, to Kenneth and Anne (Landi) Martin Sr. He proudly served in the United States Navy for four years, including service on a submarine. Kenneth retired from V&R Tool and Die in Syracuse, where he became close with the owners and they unofficially took him into their Macedonian family. The only thing he liked more than the spicy food was the great friendships.
A long time north-sider, Ken was a father figure to many in the neighborhood, including friends and extended family. He was a cheerful storyteller at heart, with almost non-stop jokes (often inappropriate), and a great story to tell (often a re-run), "and stuff." He enjoyed spending time with family and friends, good food that he loved to cook and share with others, including excessive amounts of fried shrimp each Christmas eve. Food was an expression of his love, but he was never shy about telling you he loved you too, "and stuff." He will be missed for the mischievous twinkle in his eye, his big smile, big beard and belly laugh, and his warmth.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Kenneth and Anne Martin Sr., and brother, Rick Martin.
He is survived by his children, Kevin (Francine) Martin, Michelle Martin, Scott (Lizzy) Martin, grandchildren Joshua and Mitchell Martin, and many nieces, nephews and friends.
