Mr. Stahl’s family,
Tom was a shipmate of mine in 1972, the year that I left the boat, USS Sea Devil (SSN-664). I left the boat in December while the boat was in Naples, Italy and flew back to CONUS to be separated from the Navy with two other shipmates. I only knew Tom a short time, but I can vouch for his honesty, dedication to duty, patriotism, caliber, and superior intelligence as a first class Machinist Mate. We rode a great boat then, and she was a steamer with the motto of “Fearless and Peerless”. Ruth Ann and I want to express our sincere condolences to Tom’s family in this time of your affliction as you grieve the loss of your loved one. GOD bless you, … Jim Schenk, ETR3(SS)-ECM; 1969-1972
Commissioning Chaplain USS Nathanael Greene Base of United States Submarine Veterans, Incorporated.

So sorry to hear of Tom’s passing. We worked together at Calvert Cliffs for many years. Tom was a good man and way to young.
