To a family that has made some of my most fondest memories from the time I was 15, please accept my condolences on the passing of "Charlie". He will be missed by many. I miss John very much as does my wife who came to know and love him for 7 years prior to his death. Now that we are living in Florida, we always say how much fun it would be have John with us at the beach or running to Miami or Key West. The entire Shryock family will always hold special in my heart and memories. Bill (Billy) Barnes

To the Shryock family,

Life is our one chance to do all the good we can. Death is a celebration of life remembered. Let this be a time of reflection as we look back at the good things Mr. Shryock did during his life and the legacy he leaves for future generations. I pray that your legacy lives on through your grand children and your great grand children.

God Bless,

You bought me a night gown when I was young and very sick(it was blue and white with a picture on it)
You have inspired me all of my life.
You have helped me with all of my trials and errors. You blessed me with knowledge about insurance and helped me with many financial decisions. I will miss you tremendously.
"We are the seabees of the navy"
Yes all twelve of us.
Thank You
