Biography

"Vernon Wayne McNear, 87, a resident of the Illinois Veterans' Home in Quincy, and formerly of Mount Sterling, passed away at 2:57 p.m. Monday, May 28, 2012, at the Veterans' Home.

Vernon was born Dec. 23, 1924, in Naples, the son of Clarence Charles and Anna Barfield McNear. He married Ethel Fern West on June 9, 1943, in St. Louis, and she preceded him in death Jan. 30, 2003.

Mr. McNear was a veteran of World War II and retired from the U.S. Navy in 1973, after serving in the military for over 25 years. Vernon also had retired from farming and always liked woodworking and collecting cigarette lighters. He attended Scott County schools and also attended the Benville Union Church in Brown County. Vernon loved to travel and especially enjoyed attending Navy reunions and spending time with his family.

Survivors include two children, Veronica Stewart and her husband Donald of Mount Sterling and Vernon McNear II and his wife Jolee of Salt Rock, W.Va. Six grandchildren, Donald R. Stewart Jr., Denise McKinnon, Deborah Woods, Sonia McNear, Renee McNear-Steiner and Nora Showalter also survive along with four great-grandchildren, Kayla Martin, Keaton McKinnon and Jessica and Allison Woods.

USS Kadashan Bay VC-20. compiled by Walter E. Skeldon. USS Kadashan Bay and VC-20 Association, 1998, 216 pages. On January 8, 1945, the escort carrier Kadashan Bay (CVE-76) got hit by a kamikaze plane west of the Bataan Peninsula in the Philippines as the ship was heading north toward the area for the invasion of Luzon planned to begin the next day. The crash wounded three men and tore a hole 17.5 feet long by 9 feet high in the 5/8-inch shell plating at the waterline on the starboard side. Kadashan Bay had to return to the States for repairs, which were completed on April 8, 1945, but the ship never returned to the Pacific War's front line and instead spent the remainder of the war in transport duties.
