You will always be in my heart and I will always consider you my adopted Grandfather. Thank you so much for the many memories and all of the riddles that helped to make my childhood and the time spent with you and my grandparents memorable. I will always love you tons, and know that you will always watch over those that you love, as you did in life. Thank you.

John Dunn, you served your country with great honor and distinction - rest in peace.
