John A. Schardt

Happy Birthday!

Our continued heartfelt condolences we send to you and your family for your loss. Your husband John is very sadly missed. May Almighty God continue to give the support needed with each new day and may his promise of peace become a reality.

Dear John, Each and every time I think of the towers, 911, I think of you and your family. Your bravery. I GOT YOUR NAME AND PHOTO AT CHURCH 18 YEARS AGO, AS ALL RECIEVE AN INDIVIDUAL AND FAMILY TO PRAY FOR. May you rest in peace and this year justice finally for those who designed and carried out this hate. May God be with your wife and sons in their grief. May you see them with a glad heart one day!

18 years have passed and your sacrifice hasn't been forgotten. My thoughts and prayers are with the family on this emotional day, your Husband/Dad/Brother/Son is a hero and will forever be remembered as one.

"Hero's never die, they burn forever in the hearts of those they have saved"

We send our continued heartfelt sympathy to you and your family for your great loss. No words sent will ever take away the deep pain of losing your loved one. Daily may God continue to give you the help and strength needed to cope. John touched the lives of many and will be missed and always fondly remembered.

Dear John,
I received your card this weekend while completing our local Memorial stair climb here in Panama City Beach, Florida. I, like others, have never met you but have grown to know you through the posts of your loving family and caring friends. You are the true definition of a HERO and we are forever indebted to you and everyone else that gave their lives in order to protect others.

Thank you,
Garry Hardy PCB,FL

You would be so proud of our boys. They have become such fine young men. I have taught them the things you and I held so dear.....the importance of loving each other and family. How nothing...

As September 11th approaches I want to let Johns friends and family know that I have not forgotten the selfless and heroic actions John had made on that day. Although I never had the honor of meeting John in person I had the honor of running and stair climbing in his memory; first two years at random and ever since then by request. Growing up on Long Island I was present for all the suffering and heartache that was brought by this event, but 4 years ago getting Johns card has brought a whole...

On September 11, 2017 I along with many others participated in a stair climb in Wildwood New Jersey. Prior to the climb we had the very sad honor and privilege to choose a picture of a hero that made the ultimate sacrifice on this day 16 years ago. Out of all of the fallen I was drawn to the picture of John and pinned him to my vest as I made my way up the 110 flights of steps. I have never had the opportunity to meet John but I took the liberty of looking him up online. I wish his wife and...
