At his funeral were his wife Lita, his step- son Christian( who served as pall- bearer), and members of the Pearl Harbor Survivors Association he had befriended over the years, who are mostly ex-Navy personnel.
Ironically, an Army firing squad was unavailable to be at his funeral, so at the last minute a U. S. Marine Corps firing squad graciously stepped in to perform the ceremonial duties.
He was very proud of his military career and all service members and this would have pleased him greatly.
His step- son is R. Christian Anderson, a film director and screenwriter.
