From the Massachusetts State Marine Corps League:
Please accept our deepest regrets and condolences on the passing of former Marine John Saulnier.
There is a poem written by a Marine in the Korean War.
It goes like this,

Do not stand by my grave and weep
I am not there; I do not sleep.
When you awaken in the morning's hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush of quiet birds circling in flight.
Do not stand by my grave and cry ...
I am not there. I did not die.
I am a Marine now and always
protecting and serving our
Supreme Father into infinity.

Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal.

Jack will be greatly missed. He was such a positive man with a lot of love for his family and their friends. I remember Jack being a supporter of my lacrosse team at Wooster.
He and Christian would come and cheer us on! You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

You are in our thoughts and prayers.
I remember when Uncle Jack came out for the drive to Ohio with my dad to help me unpack at college (and they went on to visit Wooster too).
We enjoyed our time together and we will miss him. Wish we could be there with you this week.

Saulnier. What a name, and what a man. I never met Jack, but I have met and am a colleague, and friend of Marcs. Just through knowing Marc I know the apple could not have fallen far from the tree. My prayers are with the family. Keep the faith and keep on!
