Your request is pretty old so I expect this email is late and you found his family. Shipmate Decker was from Ionia, MI. I'll never forget the day and the way he and Richard Stindel died. I was QM2 on the PCF directly astern of them. That scene has haunted me 2 or more time per week for very nearly 41 years now.

My husband's brother, Thomas Holloway, was KIA in April 12, 1969 on PCF51. Yesterday, while going through old pictures, I found four pictures of crew that include Decker. Between the four the pics include, Cox, Decker, Sumter, Krause, as well as our brother, Tom. If anyone is interested in the pics or knows how to get them to the person who would put them on the PCF site, please feel free to write. Thank you.
