IN MEMORY OF
JAMES J. MAGRINO
BM/2C
 CINCINNATI, OH

        

We have been contacted by Tim Magrino, grandson of shipmate James Magrino, who informed us that James had passed away in 1985. Tim remembers his grandfather telling him that the guys used to call him “Pops” since he was in his 40s at the time. Tim believes that James piloted or was one of the crew on a landing craft.  James died in 1985 and is buried in the veteran’s section of Spring Grove Cemetery in Cincinnati OH.
