I am one of the many who never knew him, but it would have been a privilege to have done so. Rest easy and peacefully.

Captain Zeb's Granddaughter
Thank you to all who have posted your thoughts, stories and accolades for my Grandfather, Captain Zeb Alford. I am his Granddaughter Samantha and am so proud to be so. I can always remember being in awe of him as a child, and as an adult. He experienced a life that most people only to get to see in movies. I loved hearing his Navy stories and never tired of them. From spending summers on our farm in New Hampshire to crawling around in the Cavalla, I have the most wonderful memories of him. He was the greatest man I have ever known. A patriot, a family man, a living part of history. I have always been drawn to the sea and I believe I get that from him. Some of our favorite talks of late were of my scuba diving trips and how I always feel like I belong under the water. I will think of him every time I descend...imagining him always being under the sea with me.
Calm seas ahead for you Granddad...I know you will be watching over me always. Baby Sam

Another great man on eternal patrol. A fine example of a true American patriot and Skipper. Your memories live on and one day in the future we may see each other again.

Condolences
I also did not know the man but he was NAVY. I was in the Navy but on carriers. Smooth sailing in the big ocean in the sky. It's been a while since I posted.
Best Regards Jib01
