In Memory: Sterling Funck

I am sad to announce that my grandfather, Sterling Funck, passed away at the end of July, He was 89. Our entire family will miss him tremendously. His obituary is here.

Funck, Sterling - US Navy Picture - 1943

Sterling was well taken care of by the Lebanon VA Medical Hospice Unit during the final weeks of his time with us. Thank you to the staff at the Lebanon VA for taking such good care of him during his final few weeks. He truly felt respect and care in the hands of these fine doctors and nurses when he needed it the most.

Sterling’s stories from his time aboard the USS Harry Lee and the USS Calvert are available on the Adventures page of this web site. If it not been for his willingness to share his stories I may never have known of the Calvert’s rich history from her many years of service in the US Navy.
