My dearest Jeannie: Words alone are not able to express our deepest sorrow. I will forever hold in my heart fond memories of John and I fly fishing, our lives together at 1stMCD. We love you, yes you too John! Larry F. Cote MSgt USMC Ret, Limington, Maine

Goodbye my dear freind, John.

If there is such a thing as a Man for All Seasons, John was truly our Marine for Every Season. He did all that was ever asked of him, all that Our Corps tasked, did it so exceptionally well and with such ease that he made it look easy. Only those who worked with him and followed in his place realized how difficult the task really was. John countenanced success at all times; had no tolerance for the thought of less and was routinely the reason we were able to laugh, smile and remain...

"MASTER GUNS"

To John's family our deepest
condolences. John was a great man a true Marine who truly cared and always would help you in anyway possible. He will be truly missed.
God bless you John.

Our deepest condolences go out to John's entire Family. John was not only a Marines Marine but a Mans Man. He was a true friend and one who you could always count on. I do and always will truly miss him. I miss his great sence of humor and straight forward honesty. I for one am truly lost without him. We had many a late night conversations that usually covered the Marine Corp and family. God Bless you John. I know you are comfortable in your new duty station, Heaven, Guard it well.

Our deepest condolences go out to John’s family. John lived life to the fullest. I had the privilege of replacing John at HQMC/MRRT and saw his legacy then. He was a pioneer in our 8412 field and will always be remembered for it.

Besides being a great Marine, John was the "eagle, globe & anchor" of our trivial pursuit games with O.J, Doug, myself and our wives. He will forever be known not only as a pioneer 8412 but as a Marines Marine. I will love and respect him forever. Our deepest sympathy to Jeannie and the boys.

You always knew were you stood when you met John. He was always quick to let you know that if you needed his help all you ever had to do was ask! When you did he was always there!! Semper Fi old friend!
