How sad that Lloyd Gurnett’s name was omitted from this roster, He played an essential role(s) in recounting the Roberts’ part in the Battle of Samar and the subsequent publicity regarding it during the last few decades.
Lloyd was my husband Tom’s cousin.
I would love info on my Grandfather Alvin (Alvie) Russell Pryor if anyone has pictures or knew him I would love for them to share, My email is april2luv@msn.com He was a surviver of the down ship
You are home now, my friend. God is with you. Say hello to all your crewmates for me. Rest in peace.
Re: Jack Yusen S2 USS Samuel B. Roberts Battle of Samar, Leyte
“The Last Stand of the Tin Can Sailors” by the author, James D. Hornfischer-2004.
After reading “”The Last Stand of the Tin Sailors” by James D. Hornfischer, a magnificent detailed account of what these brave men suffered in the aftermath of the fate of their beloved USS Samuel B. Roberts DE-413, my heart broke over their horrendous ordeal. One snap shot of a crewman was extremely special. I know this person. . .in another lifetime. I cannot explain this. Just that I am drawn into his gaze every time I look at his picture. There is a human connection in this, sadly fading as time passes. Re: Jack Yusen S2, survivor; USS Samuel Roberts DE-413. Battle of Samar, Leyte Gulf.
Utmost apologies. Thinking/translating in two languages blurs boundaries. I mean no disrespect. Re: Mr. Jack Yusen S2 USS Samuel B. Roberts-survivor. Referencing an earlier comment, I should said if he has not passed away.
I am looking for an address to Mr.Jack Yusen S2 USS Sammy B. survivor. I wish to correspond either to him, if he is still alive, or to his son Attorney Jack Yusen II, Seattle, WA. I must pass on this information to him.
My uncle was Louis Longo maybe known as Louie. I would love some information on him if anyone knows anything. He was not s survivor.
