My name is Peter Kure and I am the son of Lieutenant Commander Richard Kure who I believe was in VP4 Squadron. I was going through his email and I came across this message.I am sad to report my father himself passed away back on April 30. He had a renal failure for the last several years and broke a hip in February. He never quite recovered from that.
In any event, if I can ask you to let the rest of the VP4 group know of his passing I’d appreciate it! Thanks in advance!
Sincerely,
Peter Kure
