Notes
a. Note:   1. Military: Entered Navy on 4-30-1943 from White Plains New York. Was honorably discharged on Nov 15, 1945. 2. Military: Was an Electricians Mate, 3rd class on the USS Princeton ( a carrier) from June 11, 1944 until the sinking of the ship on October 24, 1944. The ship's travels are documented in the book "Carrier Down" by Marcia Clark.
  3. Military: Did not speak of the war when he came home. despised the Japanese, who was his enemy in the war. However, in the early 1970s he did tell his daughter Pam about the happenings when his ship was sunk. He had to go up the ladders to get out the belly of the ship, stepping over bodies of men who died. These men did not cover the noses/mouths with a wet cloth to avoid inhaling smoke so died of smoke inhalation while trying to flee the ship. When the men were in the water waiting to be picked up by another ship they formed human rings to stay together. There were sharks in the water and he told of at least one man losing his legs to a shark. They had to stay perfectly still in the water to try and avoid shark attacks.
  4. When working for Eaton Axle he applied for a tool and die maker position, was accepted for position and then was trained (lots of math). He was a tool and die maker for the rest of his life.
  5. He is shown on the passenger ship Panama arriving in New York from Port au Prince, Haiti on April 26, 1941. This would have been the return from the soccer trip he took immediately after their marriage on April 1, 1941
  6. According to the Diocese of Pittsburgh, he was baptized as Josephum on Nov 16, 1919. His parents are shown as Josepho Zakas and Appolonia Butiris.
