John Yeosock

My condolences to all the family. I had the pleasure on knowing John at PSU as an Army ROTC cadet with him, class of 1959 as well. John was our Army ROTC Cadet Colonel as the ranking Cadet of the Brigage. I was a cadet LTC Bn cmdr under him. Even then we cadets were in awe of his excetional military bearing and expertise and knew he would go far in a military career. Our class was exceptional ROTC cadets and many of us likewise had great military careers. I too served in Vietnam with the 1st...

Yeosock Family,

I am so sorry to hear of the passing of General Yeosock. He was a great boss and I have good memories of our times in the 3rd Armored Cav in El Paso.

Dot and I (CSM Ed Smith, Retired) are sadden to hear of the passing of Gen Yeosock. I will always cherish the memory of having served as his Command Sergeant Major, as he commanded Third Army (USARCENT), that included operation Desert Storm and Desert Shield.

It was my great pleasure -- and a highlight of my career -- to have served as part of LTG Yeosock's staff during Operation Desert Shield/Desert Storm. I met him again after we both had retired when he visited my work site in Saudi Arabia in 1998. I was pleased that he even remembered me -- a measure of the man.

My deepest sympathies to the Yeosock family on the passing of Jackie. It seems like only a short time ago that we were playing football in Kunec's yard on Maffett street. Jack was a good friend,and an honorable soldier. He will be missed I'm sure.
