A Voice from the Eastern Door

In Loving Memory Stiles Daniel Jacobs

October 16, 1969 – November 26, 1992

Operations Specialist

Third Class Petty Officer OS3

Crossing the Bar

Sunset and evening star,

and one clear call for me!

and may there be no moaning of the bar,

when I put out to sea,

But such a tide as moving seems asleep,

Too full for sound and foam,

When that which drew from out the boundless deep

Turns again home.

Twilight and evening bell,

and after that the dark!

and may there be no sadness of farewell,

when I embark.

For though from out our bourne of time and place

The flood may bear me far,

I hope to see my Pilot face to face

When I have cross the bar.

We all miss you Stiles.
