To John's Wife, children, and family. Please accept my deepest sympathies for your loss. I knew John from the Army Reserves(B Co. Schuylkill Haven). He was looked up to by many for his ability to keep going long after younger men were tired. He was a great example for the other men to follow in B Co. He will be remembered as a good friend. WETSU
