My father and my uncle where both Seabee. My father I just recently found out was part of the 62nd and my Uncle part of the 5th. Thank you so much for having this site available for family members that go back and learn more about the Seabee's. I am very proud be the daughter and niece of these two great men so much that I joined myself at the age of 18 (US Army). Thank you again.

I have recently found out that my mother's cousin, Leroy (Roy) Doege, was with the 62nd Naval Construction Battalion. They landed on Iwo Jima 25 Feb 1945. The 62nd was charged with building air strips for the B-29s. Roy was born in 1901 so he was probably one of the oldest men with his unit. No one in our family passed down the story of his contribution to the war effort.
Is there anyone out there that might have served on Iwo with Roy?
I know it has been more than 70 years but would like to talk to someone who was there with Roy.

Chuck Harmon was a super-good friend of mine for many years. We met at the East Coast All-Seabee Reunion years ago and when that outfit went kaput I talked him into coming to our Gulfport reunion. He joined our alumni group and for many years was our photographer at the reunion and at our annual meeting. Alumni Members can view his bio in our database. He will truely be missed.

Obituary for Charles F. Harmon
Charles F. Harmon, age 71, passed away November 22, 2017 at home surrounded by his loving family. He was born August 3, 1946 in Detroit, son of the late Garen and Shirlee Harmon. Chuck, as he was known to family and friends, attended high school in South Lyon where he excelled in basketball, football and baseball. In 1964, upon graduation, Chuck earned a full college scholarship for his athletic accomplishments; however, he opted to enlist in the Navy and serve his country. He completed three tours of duty in Vietnam from 1965 - 1969 with NMCB10, Stats Team 1013 in Danana, Quang Tri and Xuan Loc. Chuck was a proud veteran and a member of the Navy Seabee Veterans of America, Seabee Historical Foundation, NMCB10 alumni group, and NMCB 62 alumni group. He will always be remembered as a husband, father, grandfather, brother and friend who loved spending time with his family and friends. He was an avid collector of art and memorabilia, an avid gardener and gifted landscape artist. He will be remembered fondly for his friendliness, quick wit, and ever present sense of humor. He is survived by his wife of 34 years, Nicki Workman Harmon; his children: Chris DeLosSantos, Charles (Julie) Harmon, Jessica (Robert) Walker and Kasey (Michael) Cuellar; 10 grandchildren; and his siblings: Jill Haynes, James (Regina) Harmon, Gary Harmon and Sally Fontez. He is also survived by many extended family members and loving friends. He was preceded in death by his parents.
