Everyone who knew SK2 LarryATTERHOLT
was aware that he was a fine sailor, a
wonderful person and a definite asset
to-the Supply Deportment where he work
ed and to the U.S. Naval Station, Adak
Alaska.
The following letter written to
Chaplain Stenberg by Larry*s mother
gives further evidence of the Navy's
the family's and his friends loss when
he met his untimely death by auto
accident. The letter is in answer to
a letter from Chaplain Stenberg req
uesting information on possible use of
contributions made by his friends on
Adak,
"Dear Chaplain Stenbergs
Words cannot convey my feelings and
appreciation, to the friends and ship
mates of Larry. It has been comfort
ing to me, so saddened and anguished
by Larry’s death; that they also care.
They have expressed it so kindly, by
the beautiful flowers, and 'now the
fund to be given in Larry's memory.
May God bless them, and keep them.
Larry was born in Londonville, Ohio
and graduated from Londonville High
School. Although his home address is
Bellville, Ohio, hereally was a native
Londonville, boy. lb loved Londonville
and that is where he was laid to rest.
Larry upon profession of his faith
in the Lord Jesus Christ, was baptized,
by Rev. Laman, into the First Baptist
Church, Londonville, when he was 11
years old. Larry was loyal to his
Church, and received a gold pin for
eight years of perfect attendance. I
am sure Larry would like this fund to
be given to the First Baptist Church,
Londonville, Ohio, in care of Rev. A.
D. Laman.
To date the Church has never pur
chased a new fifty star flag# .Rev.
Laman thought this would be a nice
memorial, and a very appropriate one,
coming from his friends, and shipmates
serving our Country.
Thanking you again for all the kind
ness shown us. I am proud Larry served
his Country through the U. S. Navy. I
know Larry was also proud to be a part
of the Navy, and justly so.
Sincerely, Mrs. Doris May Oyster*
