William "Bill" Sherry-Torpedoman Second Class-PT 342, Ron 24-passed away June 10, 2008, Meadville, Pennsylvania, he was 84.
My dad served aboard PT-342 in New Guinea and fired the torpedo that sank the Japanese minelayer off Cape Sansapore in September 1944. According to the official records, the only Japanese "ship" sunk by a PT Boat with a torpedo in the SW Pacific. He will be missed.
