My neighbor, Dave Venaleck, passed away Wednesday. Even though he had been my neighbor for a few years he had never told me of his relationship with our community. I just found out today while expressing my condolences to his wife on her loss. Dave started his stint with the US Navy at NAS Sanford. (he was either an IS or PT) and was in the Intelligence department on the Connie (and one other carrier which I forgot already) during Vietnam.

Looked at his facebook page and don't really know how to add anything to it but will join Stick in wishing "Fair winds and following seas" to a shipmate.
You can use the message function only. I realized his page security is set up only to allow friends to post or comment on his page after I posted the link here.
FAIR WINDS AND FOLLOWING SEAS

PS: There are no plans for any service's at David's request. For those with facebook access here is David's facebook page : David H Venaleck. I'm sure the family would appreciate condolences posted there by members of the Recce Community.
