Fair winds and following seas. Great mentor and shipmate.

John brought a degree of excellence to everything he did. He never lost the sense of leadership and camaraderie that carried him through 22 years of Naval submarine service. Fair winds and following seas, shipmate. I will see you on the other shore.
