Four W-4s photo after retirement ceremony for
Chief Warrant Officer Frank P. Kehoe [about 1988]
(L-to-R, Dave Paul, Dick Freemire, Frank, and Bob Hauser)
With holiday season
activities now in rear view, had some time this day for thinking.
Today I'm remembering Chief Warrant Officer Frank Kehoe, a good
friend and capable military colleague from years ago. Frank sadly
passed-away in a Syracuse, NY hospital two years ago at
Christmas-time.
Reminiscing today about those
several trips to Europe with our mutual naval service unit. But that
more interesting period were those weeks in San Diego while attending
Convoy Commodore Staff Training School. In off-duty time, Frank
pridefully escorted me to Camp Pendleton Marine Expeditionary
Training Base, Northern San Diego County, California. Frank was an
excellent tour-guide. There many years before his duties as a US
Marine Drill Instructor were performed. Strong pride and high
professionalism as a US Marine was still remarkably on open display.
Active in community
affairs, Frank was a contributing local citizen of Fulton, NY, a
proud former US Marine and retired US Naval Officer, a leader in
local military veterans organizations, and a very fine neighbor and
friend to many indeed. Frank, you are fondly remembered and missed –
Rest-In-Peace, old buddy. In the event other friends may have missed
Frank's obituary, the link below is posted.
