He loved the out-of-doors and was an avid fisherman and hunter as long as his health would allow. He had an accident and his back was hurt so badly that he could no longer work, but he still tried to help anyone he could in anyway he could. He loved his family and adored his grandchildren and was proud of each of them and their accomplishments. He is survived by his wife, Merrie Lynn; sons, Lyle H., Roger Jr., Michael W. and Tom (Toby) Hale; grandchildren, Heather Hale, Matt and Josh Hale and Trystan and Rachel Hale, Michael Foster and Mitchel Brumm.

Milan Harring served aboard USS Sennet SS-408 during 1963-1964

I have one consolation that lives with me today.
That God is near to them, in his own special way.
So God in all Your mercy, keep near Thyself the soul,
Of every Submariner, still on his final patrol.

Lord, this departed shipmate with Dolphins on his chest
is part of an outfit known as the best.
Make him welcome and take him by the hand.
You'll find without a doubt he was the best in all the land.

So, heavenly Father add his name to the roll
of our departed shipmates still on patrol.
Let them know that we who survive
will always keep their memories alive.

Thank you, Milan, for your Service and Dedication.
