Ok here is the infomation to date. His service was WWII. daughter found a $1 bill in his wallet after his passing signed by his buddies (carried it all those years and none knew about it) upon crossing the equator Oct 28 1942. Photo was taken in Norfork VA (no date).I have heard you can petition the navy for service records. Is that the case? No family members left with informaion on ship, posting etc..
