Was that Shane Irving that passed?

I just lost a very good friend to lung cancer this morning. He almost died in the fire of the ill fated sub. His invisible wounds were terrible as he was the coxon and somehow felt responsible for the death of one of his crew and the many injuries that ensued. He was a hard core old school submariner that fought to the bitter end and never lost his sense of humour. I raise a glass of Lamb's Old Navy to you my brother. RIP
