Received an email from Seawolf Mike McNaull today:
Dan,
I don't know if I missed this on the HA(L)-3 site but through a HS-7 we[b] site page the following was posted today:
"I also want to pass along some news about Lt.Bob Sprosty's death to those who knew him. [Deleted] He died in July, in Arlington, Texas. He had Parkinson's."
When I got back from HA(L)-3 and went to HS-7, Bob was in the squadron. He didn't say much about his time there as we had a bunch show up around the same time together - Mike Brinck, Mike Lagow, Jack Ludwig, Jim Curtis plus some others. He got out of the Navy when his tour was up.
