A World War II veteran from West Warwick, Raymond Haerry, who died at age 94 on Sept. 27, 2016, had his ashes interred in the sunken battleship Arizona during a service on Sunday.

Haerry was one of the last surviving crew members of the battleship, which was sunk during the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941.

Hundreds of sailors and Marines are entombed in the ship's sunken hull.

"As he was getting closer to the end, I think he felt that if there's any place that he'd like to be at rest, it would be with his crewmates, the people who suffered and died on that day," his son, Ray Haerry Jr., told the Associated Press last year.
