From the Dec. 19, 2012, WKTV NBC, Utica, New York.
Harry J. Hale, Sr., one of the area's last Pearl Harbor survivors died on December 16, 2012.
He was born in 1921 in Utica and joined the Navy after graduation from high school. He was on the USS Travor when the attack came.
He later saw action at Guadalcanal, Midway, Iwo Jima and Okinawa and was a past president of the Pearl Harbor Survivors Association.

The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.
