Stephen G. Novak (RM2)
I'm regretfully informing any old shipmates of Steve's that he passed away just
after the New Year, while in his home in Portland, OR.
I believe Steve's first duty station was in Woods Hole, Mass., and he was separated from the Coast
Guard while at MSO Portland, OR.
I would love to hear from any and all of Steve's old shipmates, he was a good friend and will be
missed.
