Finch who was lost overboard the USS Charles Sperry on Oct. 5th 1950 - during a typhoon. He was serving on watch - only 17 years old - 5 days short of his 18th birthday and was washed overboard and presumed dead. They spent only a short time looking for him as they were on the way to Korea. Is my cousin on the list of Korean war fatalities? He was the only son of my Aunt and his death affected his extended family deeply. Every year on Charlies' birthday, my beloved Aunt (RIP) would go down to the ocean and drop a rose in. Would you search the records of Korean War fatalities and see if Charles Patrick Finch is listed. Thank you. Elizabeth Baiardi 559 Edison Rd. Trumbull. Ct. 06611 EBaiardi@aol.com
