Some additional insights about Mr. Conter from CA news sources:
“Conter's navy career began in 1939, with two months of boot camp in San Diego. He entered with years of experience hunting as a kid.
The instructor pulled him aside and said, 'You start teaching these other kids how to shoot,’ because he was shooting so well,'”
“Even on his envelopes, he writes ‘Remember Pearl Harbor’ under his name. He wanted to make sure everybody remembered Pearl Harbor—and not to forget it—so it wouldn’t happen again,”
“Funeral services are not yet set, but loved ones say Conter will be buried with full military honors, next to his late wife, at a cemetery in Grass Valley.“
