The LOG office was saddened to learn of the recent passing of Recertified Bosun Charles David James, who passed away Sept. 25 following a battle with cancer. He was 65. “He always talked about how he loved the SIU and sailing bosun,” recalled his brother, retired Recertified Bosun Rick James. “I got him into the union in 1997. Right up until his last days, he talked about how much the union meant to him and how he loved working on the ships.” In the individual photo, David is shown aboard the Mendonca in 2010. He’s standing second from left in the outdoor photo, a 2021 upgrading class pic from Piney Point, Maryland. He’s at right in the remaining photo, with Rick (center) and their sister, Mary.
