ETC Henry Cartlidge USCG Retired
It is with great regret that I inform you of the Crossing over the Bar of a Long Time Member of the USCG Chief Petty Officers Association and a Coastie that was loved by all. On the 20th of March ETC Henry Cartlidge passed away in a local Hospital in Perry, Florida. Around his 91st birthday this past January Henry was steadily going down hill but knowing Henry he stubbornly was holding on in Steinhatchee until Wednesday morning the 19th when he agreed to see a doctor and then admitted to the Hospital. Henry was 91 years young and over 30 years as a CPOA member. At the CPOA Convention last year in Las Vegas he surprised us all by showing up. What I forgot to mention for those that didn't know him was that he was totally and legally blind. Henry will be missed by many in the Coast Guard and the Chief Petty officers Association. Our prayers go out to his Family. For those who wish to send a card to his Daughter, Dianna the address is: Dianna and Jeff Fisher P.O.Box 248 Shokan, NY. 12481-0248
