Sorry to hear this news, Randy. As you know, CDR "Diamond" Jim Brady was my first Commanding Officer as a newly minted LDO Ensign (1983-84). I have fond memories of that tour and I learned much of what would help guide me through the remainder of my career. May he rest in peace.
Just as a follow up, I got back Sunday from Jim Brady's funeral on Lopez Island, Washington. Dean Schaaf, Jim's XO at Kef, was also there. Funerals are not easy events but seeing someone buried in Navy dress blues certainly brings to the forefront that person's love of country and service to us all.
God bless Jim and each of you who provided that same dedication.
