JELINEK, Rudolph Jose, AB, 44564, RCN, MPK - 18 Nov 1960, HMCS MICMAC - Son of Rudolph and Emma Mary Jelinek of Toronto, Ontario. Brother of Gabriela Susan Jelinek of Toronto, Ontario. AB Jelinek was lost at sea 24 miles off the coast of Halifax.
Ships served in:
(BMc009-BMc010) "A service at the site we lost AB Jelinek who fell overboard November 17, 1960 while steaming in the North Atlantic". I seem to remember he was carrying a full garbage can over his shoulder heading aft to the garbage chute when the ship rolled. We did not find him in spite of a search and considering the water was just above freezing at the time. (Submitted by Brian McClelland, RCN)
