Rest in peace and power. From campaign competitors to mutually respectful friends, it was an honor to know you. I will always remember your hospitality when visiting on the Iron ridge of Minnesota. God bless...

I did some time with John at St. Charles Borromeo Seminary in Philadelphia. Neither one of us got anywhere near to ordination. John was " a piece of work", in the best sense of the expression. Requiescat in pacem.

In the mid-1990's, John Kachmar served as Administrator of St. Mary's County government for the elected Board of County Commissioners that I was honored to be on. He always honestly approached each issue and was challenged with the County Attorney to fix a long list of unlawful actions taken by previous administrations. He labeled himself as a "hired gun" to clean up local government. St. Mary's County is a better place thanks to his presence. And, I am a better person for having known him. God Bless You Very Much, John Kachmar.

"A Marine has passed away today." You have secured your final beachhead. John, you are now relieved from your post. A job well done fellow Vietnam Veteran. America thanks you for your service to our country in the defense of freedom and democracy. The final bugle has sounded and taps is about to sound ending a successful career as a nation´s defender. Farewell fellow sea veteran. A Navy Vietnam Veteran.
