From MSN News.
Served eight years as gunner's mate in the U.S. Navy.
A fateful switch on December 7, 1941, probably saved his life.He switched shower times with a buddy at his buddy's request. Had he not switched times he would have died that day as the buddy was in the shower and did not survive.
He fought in eight battles during the war.
Services will be in Morris, Oklahoma, where he will be buried next to his wife of 69 years.
