Does not appear in subsequent registers after 1951 nor does he appear in the retired registers. Safe to presume he resigned sometime after 1951 and before 1953.
As far as active duty, the VBF-10 cruise book notes: “Timmy left us in the middle of the Pacific to return to civil life.” Died in 1978, a rather young 60.
