The iceman cometh

My dad delivered ice and coal with his dad in Chicago 30s and 40s, with time off in the Pacific Theater.
He kept those tongs for a long time as a reminder.

Hickman. KY, February 1931
The tall lad on the right is 10-year-old Flavious B. Martin Johnson. He was mama's boy. Tough as nails, but he loved his Mama Johnson. In 1939 he joined the Navy and served as GM3C aboard the USS Nevada. On December 7, 1941, he lost his life in the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor when a bomb penetrated the deck in front of the forward turret of two 14" main guns he served and exploded below, killing or mortally wounding everyone at that battle station.
The shorter fella on the left is his cousin, C.W. Tullis, age five in this photo. C.W. would join the Marine Corps on his 18th birthday in 1943. After boot camp at San Diego, he saw his first combat in the recapture of Guam in 1944. He hopped around several islands and atolls through the remainder of the war but stated the Iwo Jima was the worst thing he had ever been a part of. After the war, he made his home in Greenwell Springs, LA, married and had two sons. He retired from his position as Fire Chief at the Exxon refinery in north Baton Rouge (Scotlandville) in 1980.
Hope the caption doesn't bother any of y'all. I just found an old box of Dad's that was full of old photos and neat stuff and thought I'd share the pic with a description of his uncle and his cousin. It was a different country in a different world way back then.
