Dear Family and Friends of John. Though I found out only now, I am saddened by the passing of John, a longtime friend and role model. I was a Navy LTJG stationed at DPSC from 1972 to 1974 and got to know and respect John rather well. He was a great teacher, counselor and example of a perfect gentleman. While we haven't seen each other since then, I have remained in touch through yearly Christmas cards. Sadly, this year I will not be able to send the card, but please know I will keep his family and friends in my thoughts and prayers.
Sincerely,
Terry D. Johnson
CDR, SC, USNR (Retired)

Uncle John will be greatly missed. As my mom posted, we loved going to their house and will never forget using the china and crystal. To this day, I think of them every time I use my china.

Just wanted to let the family of John Hannas, know that I have always had fond memories of Uncle John. I have not seen or been in touch with him for a number of years. He was always very nice to me and my children (Lisa, Marcy and Natalie Proud). Uncle John and Aunt Margaret were among their favorite aunts and uncles. They used to visit us and my kids were always excited to see them. They both were very positive and never said anything bad about anyone. We used to enjoy visiting them when they bought the house in Moorestown. They were excited and really enjoyed having the house. I will never forget when they bought their coffee table, which was the hatch door from a boat and Uncle John stood on the top of it to so us how strong it was. We were all shocked when he did it, because we didn't expect him to ever stand on furniture. I often wondered about him and I would ask Becky Bell how he was doing over the years. He has had some rough years and now he has joined Aunt Margaret. I will keep him in my prayers.
