It is always with sadness as I receive and pass along the news of the passing of our great heroes of the USS Indianapolis.
Today is especially sad - as I must pass on the sad news that THREE
USS Indianapolis Survivors have passed away recently:
Archie Farmer on Monday March 15, 2010
William Sharp on Sunday March 14, 2010
Andrew Sospizio on November 20, 2009
As I receive more information from the families, I will pass the news on to you, but for now this is what I have:
Mr Farmer's granddaughter said that his services will most likely be in his home state of Arkansas. (He had lived in Hot Springs, but recently moved out of state to be closer to his family)
Mr. Sharps daughter, Molly Jenkins of Jacksonville, said he died after falling in his home and striking his head. (No information about services yet)
Mr Sospizio's daughter Donna said that he is survived by his wife Margaret, a son, daughter and 3 grandchildren.
Please keep these great men and their families in your prayers.
