Not sure what to say?

I met Ace only once in my life, and only for a few hours, as I attended a training course he delivered on the Phraselator in Iraq. His name was so unique that to this day, 20 years later, I still remembered it and it led me to this obituary. Ace clearly lived a full life decorated with numerous achievements! My condolences to his family, though I hope it´s comforting to know that this amazing man - whose name alone left an permanent impression on my memory - has influenced the lives of...

I just learned of Ace´s passing from the Mar-Apr `25 Shipmate. Ace was my Statics instructor at USNA in spring `77. He left me with many fond memories, one of which was his annual invitation to his students, that were unable to return home, to celebrate Christmas with his family. While we were not close, he left me with several life lessons and memories that have stuck with me. My deepest condolences. AK Wellesley, USNA `80

I met Ace only once, but I know of him through many others and over many years. I regret that I didn't know him personally. He was a genuine hero and man of God. It is a privilege to learn more about him through those who are speaking during his Celebration of Life. Sarich family, you are on my heart and in my prayers. God's Blessings, Jeanne Beans

We attended home Bible studies together and hosted many crab feasts. First Ace would come and eat the bodies, leaving the claws for Lynn and then Ace would leave to sit with the girls while we enjoyed fellowship with Lynn! Many fond memories! We will enjoy many more when we all join in heaven! Praise God!

Diana, I am so sorry for your loss. I am thinking about you and yiur family and sending love.

Dear Lynne and girls, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I know what wonderful years you all had together. I have great memories of all you and Ace did at NAPS . Sincerely, Carol Weingartner

Ace was my friend and a fellow Alumni. He was a skilled engineer and a most valuable coworker. He lived life to the fullest. I enjoyed being along for some of the ride and memories.
