From the April 19, 2015, Stow (Ohio) Sentry "Stow school crossing guard and Pearl Harbor survivor mourned as a 'great guy'" by Jeff Saunders.
Gary Rossi, 93, of Talmadge, a school crossing guard since the 1980s and Army veteran died April 10, 2015. When the attack started, he was in the mess hall having breakfast and planning on going to church when he heard an explosion. he and a group of men ran outside and heard explosions at Wheeler Air Base, about a mile away.
In early 1942, he was sent to Guadalcanal, but saw no other action after that. He returned to the United states in 1944 and served in Missouri for the rest of the war.

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.
