My grandpa was a very nice man, and he will never be forgotten. It is sad for him to go and to leave us all in tears, but it is also good because he is not suffering anymore. He has fought for our country, and he will always be a strongest man I know.

We are so blessed to have known John and his family. when we servrd together in the US Army we were part of a close family. We remember many, many fun times we all had together in Ft Belvoir and Pamana. John was my close friend and mentor, a remarkable person. I still laugh when I think of the jokes, pranks and gag gifts he masterminded. He will be missed by all who had the honor to serve with him. I will contact as many of your former soldiers as I can, we will remember You!
