Subject: Death of CAPT Eugene Dvornick, 12th CO of USS Henry B.
Wilson (DDG-7)
CAPT David Lennon here (Ensign to LT in HBW 75 - 79). I'm sad to report that we lost CAPT Eugene Dvornick, the 12th Commanding Officer of the Henry B. Wilson on 16 April 2021. He was interred at the Naval Academy later last year. I had sent him a print of the painting I did of the Henry B. Wilson, entitled (ironically) "Twilight Patrol", and he sent me the attached photo of him in his HBW ballcap with the framed print in January of 2021. Please update the Departed Shipmates section to include CAPT Dvornick.
Thanks!
Dave Lennon
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.
