Al Cope, plankowner Det 2, is hospitalized in a hospital near Ocala with a life threatening illness. His wife and children are by his side and need your prayers. I'll update as info becomes available.
I rec'd this email posted by Captain Rogers yesterday. Al has completed his earthbound tour of duty. Godspeed Al.
Dear Sea Stallions,
Got this info from Facebook. As far as I know, Al & Cherry were living in The Villages in central Florida. I’ll check the Orlando Sentinel obits for the next few days and pass along. Al was a super guy and squadron mate!
Warmest regards, Earle
