Does anyone know any information about my father Gordon Criscuolo. He was a Chief aboard the Quincy and was injured, but survived the sinking. He wouldn't talk much about it. My brother thinks that dad was blown off the ship from an explosion. Any info would be appreciated.
I'm sorry it's taken me so long to respond. I forgot to ask my Dad the couple of times I've seen him, so I called him just now. He doesn't remember your father, but maybe someone else will respond to your e-mail. My dad's second loader on the pom-pom guns was blown overboard from one of the explosions. He also survived, and I remembered dad talking about it, but dad says his last name was McEntire or MacEntire. I hope you can find out more about your father.
Thanks so much for inquiring and getting back to me. As of yet, no other responses. It has been a long time I know. I should have done this years ago.
Take care
