Senior Chief

Inspired by a Hawaiian Greetings certificate of my Grandfather’s landing in Pearl Harbor dated June 12, 1943. Our family found the certificate in his closet after his passing at the age of 94. He was assigned to the USS Sperry AS-12, which earned the distinction of being the first US Navy ship to launch after Pearl Harbor during WWII. He retired after 20 years as a Senior Chief and continued civil duties for an additional 18 years as Electronic Mechanic Ordnance Worker (Torpedoes). He received many letters of appreciation for superior performance and gave his best to the Naval Weapons Station, Charleston, SC. As we grew up, we always knew our Grandpa as a kind man who would sneak us into the VFW or Fleet Reserve for a quick cold lager. Grover C. Fewox – February 29, 1924 – September 13, 2018 Show Less
