Marine, Firefighter, Father. You are not forgotten.

John & I were shipmates in the Marine Detachment aboard the Aircraft Carrier USS Oriskany between 1961-1963. I am truley saddened at his passing and my condolence goes out to all his family. "Semper Fi John"!

Sorry to hear of John's passing. John and I entered the C.F.D. together in the same class in September 1969. I know he had been fighting his disease for quite a while. It was am absolute pleasure to have known and worked with John.

To the Roberts Family;

D.D and I are very sad to hear of John's passing. There is a long and memorable friendship that I find myself reflecting on. John battled hard against his illness but confronted it with the same courage and integrity he showed his entire life. Our prayers and sympathy to Dianne and his children and their families. John will be missed.
