Today is two years since you found everlasting peace. I remember good times in New Providence and the log cabin you built in the back yard that Dad had removed when you left for OCS school. Then off to flight school in Texas and Florida and finally a home on the Intirpid for twelve years. I miss you Johnny Love always Jeanne

Am so sorry to hear of this. John was a terrific guy. He recently met some Navy fliers from our club in Maryland, and, to listen to them share stories, truly amazing. I will miss John's garden, his tomatoes that he brought by in a paper bag. His wry smile, his rolling of his eyes, never to be forgotten. Loved playing golf with him at Manasquan River. Fly free, my friend.
