A man's greatness is measured by his love for family, freinds, and life. In John's remarkably genteel way, he personified this with a mixture of humilty and spirit. The VFW has also lost a jewel, having served as Commander and Quartermaster for over 50 years. To Rose and family, thanks for sharing him with us. Our prayers are with you.
