John William "Bill" Kennedy

June and family we are so sorry for you loss. Rocky & Janet Rauckhorst

I had the distinct pleasure of serving with Bill at the Fleet and Mine Warfare Training Center in Charleston. He and I traveled to Newport RI to teach a two-week course. He was great to work with and easy to supervise. When we visited your home, it was great to see how proud he was of your blind dog as he knew his way around the yard. I will always smile when I hear his name

June I was so sad to read of your beloved Bill's passing. I remember him fondly as we both agreed upon your talent and time at H&R Block and other messages, he kindly listen to me and related back to you. I will keep you in my prayers in the sad days to come. My sincere condoleses to you and your family . Sue George

Dear June, family and friends of Bill, On behalf of the United States Submarine Veterans, we offer our sincere condolences at Bill´s passing. Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.

He served with honor on the USS Nathan Hale SSBN-623, USS Sturgeon SSN-637, USS Benjamin Franklin SSBN-640, USS Pintado SSN-672, and USS Von Steuben SSBN-632. To our "Brother-of-the-Phin" we say, "Sailor, rest your oar....

Rest your oar Sailor. We have the watch.....

Bill was a one of the champions of our 1965 CFHS class. Always a smile and a good heart. Condolences to all the family and friends. Great loss.

To June and the Kennedy Family, On behalf of the Charleston Base SUBVETS and Swamp Fox Chapter SUBVETS WWII, I offer you our sincere condolences on Bill´s passing. We grieve with you on the death of your loved one and our shipmate. The SUBVETS have your family in our thoughts and prayers. There is no expiration date on the back of our dolphins and Bill, who earned his 'fish' when he qualified on USS BENJAMIN FRANKLIN SSBN-640 in 1969, will always be remembered as a "Brother of the Phin"...

Love you and will miss your humor and friendship, RIP Bill, Jennie
