George grew up in Brooklyn, had two sisters, Anne and Mary. Served in the Merchant Marine.
He visited me several times at my Brooklyn home while I was in elementary school.
George served our country in the Merchant Marine. He brought me multiple little souvenirs from the Pacific islands they stopped at.

I am a close relative of George Waltz, Brooklyn, born 1921. He served in the Merchant Marine
during World War Two. He was my father’s only nephew.
I am trying to find his burial place or any other information about him. Please reply to Virginia Morgan at this address.

He jumped overboard to help save his fellow men and was awarded a Meritorious medal.
I need to locate and find help to find more information about him. He passed in July 1977. Anyone … Please.
