I received the news this week that USS Indianapolis Survivor Donald Shown of Napa, California passed away at the age of 91.   However, a this time I do not have contact information for his family to send condolences.     
May he rest in peace.

My husband is Donald's grand nephew. The entire family is still in Oregon. Geraldine Gunn is still living in Creswell, OR.
I am unsure of the whereabouts of his other siblings, specifically but I will pass along the condolences to his sister and niece, my mother in law.

Thank you.
