The above link goes to the USSVI (United States Submarine Veterans, Inc.) Facebook page where their members who have gone on “Eternal Patrol” are noted.

I’ll keep my work here going, trying to get others who were not USSVI members. You’re encouraged to look there as well as here! Obviously, there’ll be some I miss and some I duplicate.

Larry L. Sederberg March 23, 1941 to May 29, 2024
Larry left us to be with his loving wife Maxine on May 29, 2024. Born Larry Leonard Sederberg in Shenandoah, Iowa on March 23, 1941 to Leonard and Helen Sederberg. Larry was the third and last child of the family, joining his two older sisters, Shirley and Beverly. The family moved away from Iowa at the end of WWII, settling in San Luis Obispo after a short stay in Arizona. Although they were far from rich (reportedly living in a house out in Cuesta Canyon with holes the roof), San Luis Obispo was a great place to grow up, and, Larry made the most of it. With his naturally gregarious personality, he made many lifelong friends, several of them in grammar school. Larry was athletic and loved all sports. He particularly excelled in track and Basketball. At about age 14 Larry began to drive cars, without permission. This marked the beginning of his love affair with cars and racing. His favorite automobile was the Corvette, of which he owned several during his life. Once, he reportedly drove his automobile up the stairway at San Luis Obispo High School, which did not impress the then Principal, Rusty Duval, who later became a friend for life.

Larry joined the Navy Reserve while in high school, and, in October 1960 reported to the Navy Receiving Station in San Francisco. He assumed active duty as a submarine electrician on the nuclear submarine the USS El Segundo in September 1962. Larry visited many ports of call in Asia during his service and had many amusing stories about his time on the USS El Segundo, which he told in private. His superiors spotted his talent on the trailing basketball court and he was selected to play basketball for the Navy for part of his service. Larry was released from active duty in February1962, and, finally received an Honorable Discharge from the US Navy on September 21, 1965.

Upon his return home, Larry went to work for Western Electric at the then new Pacific transcontinental communications underground terminal in Los Osos Valley. Life in San Luis Obispo was good for a 24 year old with a good job in those days. However, Larry’s days of carefree bachelorhood were abruptly ended when he laid eyes on Maxine Souza at a Cal Poly dance. It was truly “love at first sight.” He used to say, wistfully “I grabbed her hand and never let go.” The two were married at Old Mission Church on April 24, 1965 and spent 58 wonderful years together until Maxine passed in 2023. After losing their first child, they raised two boys, Derek (born December 18, 1970), and, their adopted son Brian (born November 19, 1969).

Larry was very socially active during his life. He was a member of the Elks for many, many years. He was also a very active member of the Kiwanis Club of San Luis Obispo de Tolosa, being awarded Kiwanian of the Year in 2008 “for outstanding service to club and community.” Larry was also very active in his sons’ lives, being a Y Indian Guides leader when they were very young, and then becoming the leader of the swine project for Edna 4H for well over 10 years (even after his sons had left the club.) Larry belonged to Native Sons and the American Legion. Larry was also active in Caballeros and participated in their yearly trail ride for many years. His last ride was the weekend before his death.
Larry loved taking the family water skiing and snow skiing. While lake Nacimiento was their primary skiing location, the family frequently spent summer vacations at a resort in Clear Lake, California with family friends. While he was always a fisherman, later in life Larry developed an intense interest in Fly Fishing and joined a local Fly Fishing club. He was fascinated with fly fish hooks and spent innumerable hours “tying flies” when he was not out fishing.
During their marriage, Larry and Maxine also enjoyed international travel, visiting such places as New Zealand, China, and the Azores.
Larry was preceded in death by his wife Maxine, his parents Leonard and Helen, and his two sisters Shirley and Beverly. He is survived by his sons, Derek and Brian, and his grandchildren Aaliya and Mattias.

MELTON .. .. .. Melton, Russell D. Age 67, of White Bear Lake, passed away on February 21, 2013, after a long and arduous battle with cancer. Preceded in death by parents Dean and Marian, and younger brother Mark. Russ grew up in Alexandria and graduated from the University of MN's Institute of Technology and William Mitchell College of Law. As a US Navy submariner, Russ served from 1963-1969 as Reactor Operator aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln and USS John Marshall ballistic missile nuclear submarines. Russ began his legal career as a founding partner of the Foley & Mansfield law firm. In 2008, he moved to Meagher & Geer where he led the Catastrophic Loss Practice Group responding to large fires, explosions, chemical releases and other disasters on behalf of his insurance company clients. He organized a team of technically-trained lawyers, specifically young attorneys who also had engineering degrees and created the concept of "the convergence of science and law." Self-nicknamed "The Man in Black," Russ was born in North Carolina and considered himself a Southern Gentleman with a love of fried chicken, grits, collard greens, peach cobbler and introduced many to the concept of the six-egg omelet. Russ' Scottish heritage was very special to him and he made several trips to Scotland. Dressed in a Clan Clark tartan kilt he hosted many Scottish-themed parties at his home where bagpipers would perform with gusto, marching up the driveway and into the house Russ called "Castle Muldoon." Though he gave up his dream of being a rock star saying it was easier to make money as a lawyer, Russ idolized the Rolling Stones and almost every business or personal conversation included some reference to Keith Richards. He was an avid reader and sought out people with whom he could discuss the latest books. Russ' passion for literature is evident by his vast library that includes books on history, technology, military, mysteries, detective stories, westerns and science fiction. Russ loved motorcycles, vintage hot-rods and his classic '65 Corvette Stingray. Survived by son Cameron, daughter Mackenzie, fiancée Christine Barrows and brother Neil (Sally Bongard). Funeral service Saturday, March 9th, 2 pm at Westminster Presbyterian Church, 1200 Marquette Avenue, Minneapolis, MN 55403. Reception to follow; details pending. Russ' children request in lieu of flowers memorials to The National Math and Science Initiative. Donation site: www.nms.org/custom/donate.aspx
