The first black sailor to rise through the enlisted ranks and take command of a sub has died

Served with him when he was enlisted, good guy, but never saw this potential. Just goes to show you.

He definitely had an ethos of hard work and accomplishment. RIP Sir.

Thank you for the post,
I did not know the man, what a career. I believe a majority of the quotes submitted for reflection can be used to describe him. He sounds like he was a submariners, submariner.
