"Smilin" Jack.Just now learned of your passing. I still remember when we got to talking in Hawaii-two guys from South Bend. Thought that you were in Ewa Beach@ Schofield Barracks, then. But 101st Airborne Company Commander-Whew!!! Glad I never heard that from you. Went back to Serbia, in '96. Was nice to have seen that you, too had worked for the Veteran's Administration, as a regional transportation specialist.I could only get in as a volunteer driver- with local (unpaid)director, Roy Archer-here in South Bend. Thank you for the kick in the pants motivation- when I needed it the most. May all this country respect the sacrifices you gave for us-and God rest your soul. You ALWAYS gave everything, and everybody your "all"- ALL the time. Kurt.

Dear John and family, I only today saw this obituary for John and, though so late, express my sincere sympathy for your loss. What a tremendous man he was from all that I'm reading, and so accomplished. So much to be proud of and in such a short lifetime. John will be in my prayers this weekend at my Masses, and I will keep you in prayer too, for your great loss.
