Suzy and Family, I am truly saddened by the loss of John. He was one of those legendary figures in the COMSEC/SIGSEC world when I was a youngster in the field. I was so glad to get to meet and know both of you through our reunion group, and John certainly lived up to his legend! I hope your faith will see you through this difficult time and that John will rest in peace.
