From the April 1, 2012, Lake County News.
WALTER URMANN was the fourth Pearl Harbor survivor to die in the previous year and a half.

THREE STILL LIVING:

Losing the Greatest Quickly Now. GreGen
My Cooter's History Blog has become about 80% World War II anyway, so I figured to start a blog specific to it, especially since we're commemorating its 70th anniversary and we are quickly losing this "Greatest Generation." The quote is taken from Pearl Harbor survivor Frank Curre, who was on the USS Tennessee that day. He died Dec. 7, 2011, seventy years to the day. His photo is below at right.
