RIP JOHN JOLLY. I went to school with John at Roosevelt. John was always smiling and always a great guy. Prayers for his family.

So sorry to hear of John's passing. We were stationed and worked together at Aviano AB, Italy in the late 70s and early 80s. I still remember how excited he was when Brenda was pregnant with Ambie and I remember when she was born. They visited us right after my youngest son's birth. I talked with John and we emailed once or twice before I retired and he was pretty much the same as I remembered him. I hope God gives his family peace.
