Dear Bill and other Kugelman relatives,

I can't imagine the sorrow you must feel knowing that a son was taken from you at such an early age. I equate his passing as another warrior who gave his all for our protection, as those in military service also do for us. As the years pass, the pain lessens, but will never go away! He will never be forgotten!

Thank you John for your Service. I know you loved being a Trooper. I remember you when you were in high school. I know your family has missed you all these years. You are not forgotten.
