My sincere sympathy and condolences to the family of Master Chief Willoughby. While serving on the USS Manley as a young Naval Officer, he became my mentor when I assumed the duties of division officer in CIC. His guidance and leadership exemplified the highest traditions of the US Navy.

Chief Willoughtby was a bigger than life example of the professionalism that comes from years of dedicated service to the Navy. His example inspired those who made the Navy a career as well as those who served for only one tour.

Not in the Chief's crew but remember him well. I served on the Manley from 1966-1969. I will remember the Chief in my daily prayers.
