Earle, John Horatio, Jan. 23, 2007 John Horatio Earle, believed to be last crew
member of the battleship USS Arizona living in Hawaii, died of heart failure Tuesday at
the Queen's Medical Center. The national USS Arizona Survivors Association has
considered retired Marine Col. Earle, who celebrated his 92nd birthday with a glass of
champagne on Jan. 7, the only crew member still living in Hawaii. He was one of 85
Marines assigned to the Arizona, which was sunk in Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941. Ruth
Campbell, who headed last year's reunion of Arizona survivors, told the Star-Bulletin
there are no records of how many of Arizona's 334 sailors who survived the Japanese
attack are still living today. The records of her association can account for only 34
Arizona survivors. The group has held a Honolulu reunion every five years since 1978.
In the fall of 1941, Earle had just been promoted to captain and was assigned to the
battleship USS Tennessee and ordered to the Arizona on Dec. 6. Earle recounted in the
Pearl Harbor Survivor Oral Project that throughout Dec. 6, until 9:30 that night, he was
involved in taking inventory. Earle did not spend the night on the Arizona. He was with
his wife in their Ala Wai apartment. The next morning, from the lanai of his Waikiki
apartment, Earle said, he could "see anti-aircraft bursts covering the area." He caught a
cab to Pearl Harbor with sailors from the Tennessee, and when they arrived at Pearl
Harbor, it "looked like a scene from the Inferno. The second attack wave was still in
progress, and the Arizona, already destroyed, was belching thick black smoke that was
to continue for days." Earle caught a boat from Merry Point Landing to Ford Island, "a
scene of complete devastation." Earle said 12 enlisted Marines from his 85-member
detachment had swum to Ford Island and taken refuge in a bomb shelter just a few feet
from where the Arizona was berthed. After the Japanese attack, Earle led Marine
detachments fortifying and preparing to defend Lualualei Ammunition Depot in Waianae
against possible Japanese landings. His daughter, Jane Earle-Dabrowski, a Punahou
School teacher, said her father initially wanted to be a Marine pilot after graduating from
Virginia Military Institute in 1936, but had flunked the flight exam because of his vision.
"Following the attack on Pearl Harbor," Earle-Dabrowski said, "vision requirements were
relaxed. It was one eye, two eyes ... yep, you were qualified, my dad would later joke."
Earle graduated from flight school in 1942 and commanded a dive-bomber squadron in
the Philippines, flying Corsairs and SBDs. His World War II combat awards included the
Distinguished Flying Cross and Air Medal. Earle retired from the Marine Corps in 1961
and joined his family, which moved to Hawaii in 1958. Earle attended graduate school at
the University of Hawaii and would later teach history there. His daughter said her father
was an avid painter and was active in the Hawaii Watercolor Society. His home near
Punahou School was decorated with watercolors he had painted during the numerous
trips he took with his wife, Barbara, a retired Punahou School teacher to whom he had
been married for 68 years. "My father would decorate the sonnets he wrote for my
mother with watercolors. He wrote sonnets for every occasion. They were an amazing
couple." Earle was born on Jan. 7, 1915, in Reading, Pa. Other survivors include sons
John and Thomas, daughter Susan McLane, six grandchildren and four great
grandchildren. Private inurnment will be held Feb. 5 at the National Cemetery of the
Pacific. Memorial services will be held at 4 p.m. Feb. 6 at Central Union Church. The
family requests no flowers. (Honolulu Star Bulletin 26 January 2007)

Edwards, Edward Richard “Eddie” (1918-2007) Edwin Richard "Eddie" Edwards, who
strove to improve stories in the Honolulu Star-Bulletin during 22 years with the
newspaper, died May 27 in Ballina, Australia. He was 88. He retired in October 1980
after holding positions at the Star-Bulletin as state editor, assistant city editor, city editor
and administrative assistant to the publisher. "For many years, Ed and I worked
together in the City Room, I as news editor and Ed as city editor," said Charles E.
Frankel. "I was the shouter. He was the voice of calm and reason. He made copy better.
He was a stickler for English and grammar and proper usages. "He was a modest man,"
Frankel added. "For example, all staffers were asked to prepare obits in case of our
death. He said he wanted a small obit, not a major one, because he felt he was not that
important to the community. But we felt he was." Retired Star-Bulletin business writer
Russ Lynch said Edwards was city editor when he came here from New Zealand. "I had
no daily newspaper experience and Ed was a good teacher," Lynch said. "He gently
took me under his wing and taught me a few things about how to be a good newspaper
reporter." Lynch also recalled that Edwards "was handling news at a time when we had
at least three editions. ... It was hard deadline work." Edwards, born June 27, 1918, in
Rockland, Maine, also was a retired U.S. Navy commander. He and his wife, Barbara,
moved to Australia after he retired. They were married 62 years. Survivors also include
two sisters and a brother in Maine. A memorial service was held May 31. Donations
may be sent to the Ballina District Hospital, Cherry Street, Ballina. [Honolulu Star
