John William Furrer

John was my Best Man at my wedding in Monterey, CA in 1963. He was my oldest continuing contact friend. We met at Texas A & M while we were both Army students in 1961-62. He and Carol had trouble getting me out of their house and hair! He was a remarkable man

I met John and Carol at Fort Riley, KS, about 1959. We spent many hours flying together for the 1st Aviation Co. 1st Division. I recall we got standard by weather in New Orleans during one training flight, truly, we did not know it was Mardis Gras and never could convince our CO. Anyhow it took days for the weather to clear. We also served in IAGS. John was a good and steadfast friend and a model officer. Carol was an inspiration as an Army wife and mother. I have wonderful memories of the Furrer family. Col Maurice F.
