It was not really hero worship. He was young and inspiring. A war vet who single handed swam 3 miles with a shipmate who was badly burned in tow. He successfully found rescue for all but 2 of crewmates when PT 109 was sunk. To survive such an ordeal only to be assassinated for no good reason does make one stop and ponder the short lived live of this particular person.
