On behalf of the United States Submarine Veterans (USSVI), we offer our sincere condolences to Yuko and all of Don's family and friends in your time of mourning. May God whisper peace into your hearts and comfort and heal them. We are grateful for Chief Basham's service to our country in the United States Submarine Service. To our “Brother of the Dolphin” … "Sailor, rest your oar. We have the watch. May you rest in peace and may God bless your loved ones who remain. Thank you for your service to our country." -- Rev. Ray Fritz, National Chaplain United States Submarine Veterans, USSVI.

We were sorry to hear of the passing of Don. 
It was a joy to be around Don and Yuko. 
We pray for Don.
