I knew you as Wayne in Amsterdam NY and when you went to the Air Force Academy. You broke my heart with your charm and sense of humor.

There are no words to describe how this man has impacted my life . From taking me on my first rollercoaster to letting me stay when I finished my contract on the cruise ships. Both John and Betty have change my life for the better. I love the friendship they have with my parents and how welcoming they have made me into their family . You will be missed Mr Handsome.

What wonderful friends you & Betty have been. John..your journeys with Jack and Mario...during those many years as contractors...traveling the world training our troops..and those many lunches sharing the tales of your adventures. Faithfully staying in touch while we have been on this 9 year journey with Cancer. From visits to the hospital with baskets of snacks & water to help lift Jack's spirits..to lunch/brunch meeting almost monthly for a "briefing" of Jack's condition...and all the calls in between. Thank you for your kindness and your consistent support. You will be remembered fondly and missed GREATLY. Betty...please know that we are praying for you and the family. We love you guys.

was the nicest person and the funniest person I have ever met, he had an disarming charisma that made everyone he met a friend, I will miss him and as a fellow service member I will hold a salute for him.
