Thank you for information provided on my father.  He had no middle name, name was Ralph Wellman, born July 3, 1918 (not 1911 as I think records show, his death date is accurate, but causes were not “natural” as shown, he died of leukemia (AML) to be exact.

When he was alive we never talked about the war and of course, I so regret that.  Absolutely any information you can give me on daddy would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you for what you do for people.

The VA would class death from illness as natural.

Here are some possible (by no means certain) matches for him in the muster rolls.

Your best best is to request his service record:   Navy Service Records and Related Records  

One more thing:  I also found Ralph Wellman in the "U.S., World War II Draft Cards Young Men, 1940-1947" on Ancestry.

If you want to order his Selective Service Classification History, see here for details:  https://www.archives.gov/st-louis/selective-service#wwii 

Finally,  I know you did not ask about Census records, but here's his 1950 Census form.  There are also records for 1920, 1930, and 1940 available.  Let us know if you need help with those by requesting them on the  Census Records forum.
