MessageThanks 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!

MessageWayne,

Thanks for the invitation to visit this site. I wasn't aware this page existed.

My dad, Ted Colabuono, served on the Spangler with other Joliet, IL enlisted men.

I plan to take some time to read everything here. Thanks again for directing me to this site.

MessageSadly, we lost another of our shipmates recently, Eugene Lund passed away on April 5, 2021 in Filmore, Utah. Gene was a radioman aboard the Spangler from 1956 to 1958. He was a dear friend and will be sorely missed. A remembrance page is posted on this website in the Remembrance Section.

MessageHello.
I wanted to let you know my father, Harold O. Stephens, (46-48) passed away Dec. 27, 2020. He is survived by his wife, Kitty.
I have reunion pictures I would like to share and could mail them to whomever is in charge of that. I could also get a picture to you for the memory page. Just please let me know what I need to do.
Thank you,
Suzanne Middleton

MessageSad to report, I learned this afternoon that Joe Mitchell passed away this past Friday, Jan 8, 2021. Joe lived in Sgt. Bluff, Ia, and served aboard the USS Spangler, 1956-1958, as a Radarman, departing as a RD3. Our deepest sympathy is expressed to his wife Joan and their family. Joe was my closest friend in the Navy and to no longer share calls several times a year and occasionally visits is unimaginable!

MessageA Remembrance Page for Stan Biess was uploaded to the website his afternoon. I apologize for the long delay! Stan passed away this past July and deserved remembrance much sooner. If you have something you would like to add to the page, drop me a note here in the guestbook. Much of the delay stemmed from Google doing away with the original Spangler website stored on the Google server in favor of a completely new approach. The retraining, sad to admit, doesn’t come as easy these days.

MessageHi Alice, I hope you received the email I sent you. Your dad was a Ship’s Servicemen (SH). He came aboard the USS Spangler DE 696 in July 1955 as a SH2 Petty Officer and departed as a SH1 in 1958, presumably when the ship was decommissioned. He was mostly involved with overseeing the ship’s store and replenishment of store items.
