Amen Themis. Wasn't their speculation a couple of years ago that he was still alive?

I'm sorry to hear that he is dead. Hopefully there can be some closure for his loved ones and he can come home now to rest. R.I.P.

Rest in Peace, Captain... :patriot:

I'm sorry. I'd followed this so closely over the years I didn't stop to consider that others might not have. This is a link to the "back story" that the AP has published.
