We are very sorry for your loss of John. My father and me had really hoped to visit him and Carol before he passed away. Hopefully we can take the trip one time. We miss you a lot.

I don't know this fine man, but I salute him and grieve for his passing. My father led the first platoon of the First Marine Division that landed on Okinawa on Easter Sunday morning of 1945. He was wounded three times, went back into battle two times, before being sent home (eventually not much the worse for wear). Bless all those who fought and served in that world-changing war. We are losing them too quickly now. My deepest condolences.

To the Enge family, I am sorry for your loss. I remember him as a strong individual who deserved the respect he had in the community. Mrs. Enge, I don't know if you remember me but there were times I had no lunch at school and you invited me to your home to eat lunch with Arnold who was in the same grade as I was. I will never forget the kindness.
