So many years have gone by since I served with Bill in Vietnam on LSD5Gunston Hall
He was a Gunner’s Mate and I was an Fire Control Gunnery.  Bill was an incredible person to work with.

I just learned of Bill's passing from George Hamilton.  I was Bill's division officer on the USS Gunston Hall LSD-5.  Bill was one of the most "squared away" men in the two divisions I supervised.  I came aboard as the greenest of Ensigns, and I was able to rely on Bill to always be on top of what was going on in the Gunnery Division.  As George said, Bill was the best of the best.

I served with Bill on the USS GUNSTON HALL LSD5.  He was a true friend and a credit to the Navy.   I apologize for the delayed condolence but I just learned of his passing.  For all those who served with Bill he was the best of the best.  Farewell Bill

George Hamilton. ftg2.  


Happy Birthday Dad; I miss you.

May God keep you and your family safe in his love. Francene & Mark Rathbun, Keller, Tx.
