Hello All,

With sadness, I am writing to you all a quick E-mail message to let you know of the passing on Friday evening ( May 6, 2011 ) of a wonderful fellow Henry B. Wilson shipmate; Edward Kaufman; age 72, due to leukemia. His wife, Nancy, expressed gratitude for my offer of notifying as many of his Navy buddies as I have active contact with and have E-mails for.The rest will be notified by phone.I believe that a few of you already know of Ed's passing.  

Ed wasn't feeling very well for a while now which is why he skipped the last ship's reunion in Norfolk last October although he had originally planned to go. While Ed had leukemia for a while, he managed to keep it subdued until the very end when it finally caught up with him rather quickly. He died peacefully surrounded by family and friends.

While no actual funeral is planned, a memorial service will be held in Ed''s honor at the Jehovah's Witnesses Temple in Westminster, Maryland this next Saturday May 14th at 1300 hundred hours in the afternoon. In lieu of flowers, his family would prefer that any donations be made in Ed's memory with the Jehovah's Witnesses of Westminster. The contact information is:

                      Jehovah's Witnesses of Westminster
                      1131 South Pleasant Valley Road
                      Westminster, Maryland 21158
                      410: 857-0364.


For those of you wishing to extend their sympathies to his wife, Nancy, her contact information is:


                       Mrs Nancy Kaufman
                       1110 Yorkshire Way
                       Westminster, Maryland 21157


Ed was an individual who was a true family man, friend, and patriot. There wasn't anything that Ed wouldn't do for anyone. It was a pleasure and an honor to have known him. He was truly loved by all who knew him and he will be missed very much.

Dear Wilson Shipmates,

I am sad to tell you that my Dear Brother, Dennis Francis Xavier Duffy, has

passed away earlier today (about 4:30 AM) at the Morristown (NJ) Memorial Hospital. 

Denny was 62 years old.  He was a Wilson Crewmember who was very pleased

and proud to have served with all of his Wilson Shipmates.
