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.

MessageMerry Christmas, Jim, and a Happy New Year! So long as the old lady has at least us two, she’s in fine shape and will still be around through at least all of 2020.
