Dear Barb and Blaeser Family,
We have fond memories of working and "playing" with John at the 133rd Medical Squadron. John was a great Chief and mentor to many young men and women of the Air National Guard and will be missed by many. Memory Eternal

Barb, We always had a great time with you and John, and I don't expect that to change. The courage Lucy and I witnessed the past 5 years gave us strength. Thanks for being our good friends. We look forward to good times again.

Barb..I was glad that I had the oportunity to see and talk to John in the hospital before he went home. At least he could laugh at the funny story we had together at camp. He had a good memory. My deepest sympathy to all of Johns family.
