Message | Sad to report, Merlin Carr passed away on June 27th this year. He was 94. Merlin served aboard the Spangler as a radarman from 1949 to 1952. He was an active participant at Spangler reunions, a wonderful story teller and well liked by everyone. His recollection of days aboard the ship and else where in the Navy was amazing. He will be highly missed by both his family and Spangler Mates. |

Message | Sad to report, Leon Ramshaw passed away yesterday morning, Dec. 28th. Leon reported aboard the Spangler in April 1955 and remained aboard when the ship underwent decommissioning in 1958. He was part of the quartermaster group and a very personal friend of mine. He will be sorely missed! |

Message | Thanks Gary. I hope you enjoy all of the website. I see from the crew list your Dad was aboard the USS Spangler when it was commissioned on 10/30/1943 and remained aboard until 12/20/1945. If you would like a Remembrance posted in memory of your dad I’d be happy to assist. Thanks again for the visit! |
