I was saddened to learn of John's passing. I remember John and his sister Jackie from our time together in the Civil Air Patrol Squadron at Mt. Pleasant Airport. I'm not surprised at all that John had an outstanding military career. Great guy, great family.

Our prayers are with the Leatherman family. I remember John and Jackie from hanging out with Janice. We were great friends. I used to go to Janice's house to ride her horse. We practiced jumping on the horse from the rear and rode horseback. Those were great memories. I would like to give my condolences to Janice. Hang in there.
