During WWII, Clarence sailed as both A.B seaman , and later, as A Bosun's Mate.
Some of the ships he was know to have sailed on are :
S.S Geo H Jones
S.S John Worthington
S.S.Cacique 3
Rio Mendoza
Sieur De Lasalle
S.S Sebastian Vizcanio
He sailed from U.S ports in New Orleans, Baltimore, New York,And Seattle.
Clarence was said to have been on two ships that sank during the war, and had been both times in the water for many days before being rescued.
These instances changed the course of his life long term.
This is the story we seek to know.
Clarence was born Dec 14, 1906 and died Dec 22 1955. After his serving his Country as a Merchant Marine in WWII , Clarence was hospitalized in 1947 Until his death.
Clarence left behind two small children, and a wife.
I can't even find an Obituary on him.
We think there may not have been one, due to the time of year. Or because of his long term hospitalization .
Clarence's younger Brother Earnest Boudreaux was a decorated war hero in WWII having served in the U.S.Navy.
Will you please help us find my grandfather and give legacy to his life which was cut short so long ago?
Thank You
