John Max Shelander Sr.

Mrs. Shelander,

(We did alot of dumb stuff anyway!) It's been many years since I've seen any of you, but wanted to let you know I remember those times with happiness and wanted to extend my greatest sympathies. My best to the rest of the family.

I didn't know John. But he was a 75th MACr & that's all I need to know about him. He was family in that respect. God bless and deepest sympathies.

My Thoughts and Prayers to the family.

I worked with and knew John from the City of Houston. My prayers are with his family. I'm sorry for your loss.

Mrs. Shelander:


John was a very nice person, we worked together at Fleet Maintenance, under the leadership of Mr. Carl Bowker. He respected everyone , and was a great boss.

I knew John Shelander from both the 75th MAC and working at the City of Houston. I can't remember him not smiling. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

We considered John one of the finest men we ever knew and he
was a wonderful neighbor and we
will miss him terribly. Our sincere
love and sympathy to all the family.

Lee & George Autrey

I served with John in the 75th MAC
