Not sure what to say?

I was at the Summer Camp in 1967 . John took us flying in his cessna . What fun we had. We were a wild and crazy group from all over. Judy from MI, Terri Tindle from York, I was from JohnstownPA. We danced hard and played hard too. The evenings were filled with classical music concerts. We performed and for 8 weeks with teachers from the PA Ballet, and NY city New school we soaked up every bit . I remember John and his family A memorable summer.

Any one who served with the 503rd was hard core, airborne! I never knew you but I served with the 503rd in Viet Nam in 1967 and 1968. We who served in "the Herd" were indoctrinated with its history. Airborne all the way!

Sorry for your loss, John and family.

Words are not sufficient to convey the honor it was to know him, the sympathy that is felt for his family, and the joyous expectation that we will see our friend again in glory.
Godspeed, John. The sky is no longer a limit.

Dear Shreve family, I am sorry for your loss. You are in my thoughts.

My fondest memories of my cousin Jack revolve around Christmas eve gatherings at Aunt Beulah's home. Everyone dressed to the nines, people coming and going to midnight church services, lots of good food, kids all excited, plenty of laughter. My deepest sympathies to Sherry, John, and Denise. Rest in peace, Jack.
