REMARKS:

SYNOPSIS: Commander John M. Leaver was assigned as a staff officer to Commander
Cruiser Destroyer Group 7th Fleet. On May 8, 1972, he and Captain Edmund B.
Taylor were passengers aboard a helicopter attempting to make a night landing on
the fantail of the USS PROVIDENCE (CLG-6). The helicopter crashed and fell
overboard.

Leaver and Taylor were both lost in the crash and their remains were never
located. They are listed with honor among the missing because no remains were
found.

I found this site and your post via a web search of my username.

Gerald's *Jerry* remains have come home. I have lots of information, pictures and more if you are interested in learning about him. I have even had the pleasure of meeting his family and being welcomed into their family as a friend. I was invited to his memorial service last September. What an honor.

E-mail me if you'd like to know more about Jerry.
