I just found this web site, and I was wondering if anyone remembers Joesph T. Poncurak (Pancurak)
from Yonkers, New York. He served as a Gunners Mate on the MT Hunter second world war.
I'm Susan J. Poncurak, Joseph's daughter, I would appreciate any information and pictures if available. I found one of him with the crew on line.
I realize, that time has passed, and there may be very few of the crew left. He had many friends,
like his son Raymond, who was killed in Vietman in 1966. They look exactely alike and I look like him too.
Please contact me, with any information you might have.
I have heard of many interesting stories of Casablanca & Morocco. My father was quite a character, and fun to be around.
Joseph died in 1947, jumped, robbed and beaten by six men, as he stepped off the base, after being mustered out!in 1945.
It caused a blood clot & he had a convulsion and died,two years later 1947.
Best regards,
Susan Poncurak
