John Schaffer Memoriam
John A. Schaffer
LTC Army (Ret.)
10/29/1935 - 9/10/2024
Dad, you have been gone one year and we still miss you every day. You had a huge impact on our lives, bestowing your love and family values on us. You served your nation dutifully and devotedly in the US Army including two tours in Vietnam. You lovingly served your community while growing up in Greenbelt, MD, later as a council member in New Carrollton, MD, and later still as a good friend and neighbor in Kensington, MD, and as a volunteer at Walter Reed for the Wounded Warriors. We will always cherish your memory.
