Today 4/24/2025 I made a $100 Donation to the Headstrong Project in Memory of John Alden Pope in Recognition of his Selfless Courage displayed during the Vietnam War. His service as a Green Beret in Vietnam was critical to the Freedom of citizens of the United States of America. God Bless John A Pope and his family. May he Rest in Heavenly Peace. My thoughts and prayers are with his family at this Sad Time in their lives.

We are saddened at John's passing. He was a wonderful guy with a big smile and a welcoming way. It was always a pleasure to see him. Our thoughts and prayers to his lovely family. God bless him. Jim and Ginger Byrne

I happily remember John from New Hampton. His zeal for life and always supportive attitude were contagious. I will always have fond memories of him. I feel privileged to be a part of his life, if only for a year. Thank John!

Dear Nancy, The entire Rice family (John, Jack, George, Jamie, and myself) were so sad to hear of John's passing. He was delightful, and always fun to talk to, especially on the sidelines of a Villanova game where he cheered on each and every player with an infectious enthusiasm. He will be missed. We share our deepest condolences with you and your family. Our prayers and best wishes are with you, Laura Rice

Roger and I are so sorry to learn of John's sudden passing. We were friends from Lime Street and have many good memories! Sadly, we cannot be at the service as we will be on an airplane from Florida. We would truly like to be there. Sending love to all the Popes. Judy.
