Individual Details
Walter Craig FURR
(2 Jun 1919 - 22 Apr 1985)
Per Gene Gaddy: He served in the Army during World War II. He retired from Hornes Ship Building in Newport News, Virginia, where he worked as a mechanic. He was very much like his father in the fact that he loved to fish and hunt. I have many memories of the times he took me on the fishing and hunting outings, during my early teenage years.
