The Aftermath
His parents, Benjamin and Winifred Dick, were sent a formal letter from the United States Navy Reserves regarding his disappearance following the explosion, and he was declared dead two years later on January 14th, 1946. Floyd Anthony Dick received a Purple Heart for his service, which was delivered to his parents. Since his body was never recovered, a memorial stands at the Honolulu Memorial Courts of the Missing in Honolulu, Hawaii. His name is engraved on Court 5.
There is also a memorial honoring him and other WWII veterans who are also alumni of Pascagoula High School, where he graduated as the class of 1943. This memorial is located next to the flagpole, where JROTC students salute the memorial and raise the American flag each morning. Pascagoula High School also has their War Memorial Football Stadium where Dick is presumably honored in one of the many seasonal ticket boxes within the football field.
