Sad Discovery
Hi All.
I don't read the Blogs, I save my eyesight for the General postings.
Today I looked in and to my dismay read about the passing of an old comrade Dennis O'shea, I have on my comp a big picture of a monument he sent me taken when he was in the army in Suez, before going to sea as a Radio operator.
My commiserations go out to his family, Dennis will be sorely missed.
May he sail in calm waters.

Similar to myself Des didn’t know how to reply to being in a blog, my commiserations as well to a good shipmates family and friends . The last time I looked in crossing the bar couldn’t see as was going to pass commiserations there when possible. JS

Re: Sad Discovery
Sadly we dop not always hear of someone crossing the bar until well after the event.
But like so many others Dennis was a good gut, we should remember him as a good ship mate.


Happy daze John in Oz.
Life is too short to blend in.
