worked on Navy Ships during Viet Nam. His job was scraping all the asbestos off old pipes that needed to be repaired or replaced. No Mask or Respirator.........

He contracted? mesothelioma, about ten years after leaving the navy. He was promised, like so many others, a settlement would be made......he died a few months from his lung ailment and still no settlement has been reached.....nearly SIXTY YEARS LATER.....
