Robert Louie Fernandez, a Pearl Harbor survivor, passed away at the age of 100 in California, just days after the anniversary of the attack.
Known as Uncle Bob, he was loved, cared for by his nephew in his final days, and remembered for his service in the Navy during World War II.
His hopes of joining the Navy to explore the world were dashed when he found himself involved in the events of World War II at Pearl Harbor.
Mr. Fernandez had planned to attend a commemoration for the anniversary of Pearl Harbor but faced health challenges leading up to the event.
