Passing of a shipmate

It is with great sadness that I have just learned of the passing of yet another shipmate. PRC Kenneth Owen Getchey. Kenny stayed the 20 plus. I just learned of his passing earlier this month through the internet. Ken passed away back in 2007. Yeah, 10 years ago. How time flies. You young guys and girls in uniform will soon learn as you grow older, you lose touch as the 4 winds scatter you and your friends to all corners of the earth. You lose touch. Fortunately for me, I found my shipmates spouse and was able to tell her stories that she didn't know. We had a great time laughing and reminiscing. WE will stay in contact. To my brother K.O., Rest In Peace, I'll see you and Turnage and Martin on the other side.
