Funeral for FM1 Leonard R. Geller (World War II)
Last January, DPAA announced that it had accounted for FM1 Leonard R. Geller, US Navy. FM1 Geller was lost at Pearl Harbor, HI, on 7 December 1941.
FM1 Geller will be buried next week – on Tuesday, 16 July 2019 in Honolulu, Hawaii. Regrettably, DPAA does not seem to have posted the specific location for his funeral service.
If any TAH readers have the precise location and date for FM1 Geller’s funeral and/or internment, please post it in comments below. And if any readers are in the area and have the time, here’s an opportunity to give someone lost during World War II a proper final send-off.

Will raise a glass to FM1 Geller on Tuesday upcoming. No longer “unknown but to God”.
Thanks for the update Hondo.
Fair winds and following seas, FM1 Geller.
Rest in peace Brother. God be with your family.

Conducted interwebz research on this for a good part of the day, but no joy. All I was able to find is that a rosette will be placed next to his name at the Punch Bowl, indicating he has been accounted for.
Other than that, RIP Sailor.
