John D. Nolander

John was my roommate and best friend at Syracuse Univ. for Intermediate Russian. After I proposed to my (still) wife, I asked John to be my Best Man. He said that he couldn't because he was marrying his Mary that same day!

I too was one of those who went from enlisted man to an old 2nd Lieutenant. John and I were at Goodfellow AFB at the same time in 1972 for intelligence officer training. I am pretty sure his softball team whipped ours pretty good. John was a real professional and very good at his job; he will be missed.

My sincere sympathy to John´s family at his passing. My husband John worked for him until his death in 2004. Your husband/father initiated a team that was responsible for raising thousands of dollars for Relay for Life. I will forever be appreciative for his efforts and the cancer sufferers who benefited from the money raised. May John Rest In Peace and may you, his family be comforted by the memories of the good life he lived. ...

My condolences to John´s family from a fellow flier.

Our deepest sympathy to all of John´s family. I will miss my friend deeply. From traveling to Colorado for an elk hunt to sitting in a frozen corn field in 10 degree weather waiting for some geese to land. John was an amazing person and I am blessed that he was my friend. Rest in peace John

John was my roommate at Syracuse U. in '64-'65. He was supposed to be my Best Man but decided to wed his Mary the same day I married Linda. And we served together many more years. Rest in peace, Brother.

Remember flying in the Gulf with John when he was a Lt. I know he will be missed.

My deepest sympathy at the loss of a very special person. He was a great friend to my husband Jim Hillard who served with him in the 6990th on Okinawa
