It is with great sadness that I share with you the news I just received from USS Indianapolis Survivor Bill Akines wife Margaret, that Bill passed away earlier today. As you may recall, I sent an email recently about his failing health, so the consolation is that this wonderful man is now pain-free and at peace. Margaret told me that the outpouring of cards and phone calls he received from his USS Indianpolis Family truly brightened his days.
