From the October 4, 2016, Military.com "Sailor Killed in Pearl Harbor Attack to Be Buried to be Buried in Ohio." AP.
Rudolph Piskuran of Elyria, Ohio, has had his remains identified and will be buried at St. Mary's Cemetery in that town.
he was a 1940 graduate of Elyria High School where he played basketball and sang in chorus.
In a letter from the USS Oklahoma dated eight days before the attack, he told his parents that he felt safe and happy and was more worried about volcanoes than an attack from the Japanese.

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.
