John...I am so sorry for the loss of your Grandfather. Reading how he enjoyed his life to the fullest is an inspiration. Keeping you and your family in my prayers~~ Mary Ann Rublein
It is the sailor, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press.
It is the sailor, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech.
It is the sailor, not the campus organizer, Who has given us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the sailor, not the lawyer, who has given us a right to a fair trial.
It is the sailor, like John,
Who salutes the flag,
Who serves under the flag,
And who gave self-sacrificing
Loyalty to his country.

To the family of shipmate John please accept our condolence and know you are not alone in your sorrow, some of us may never had the honor of meeting John but he is a brother to all of us that wear the submarine pin and that makes you family.

I always looked up to my big brother, John. I was always so proud of him...especially when he was in the Navy. Later, as a successful businessman, he also made me proud. But most of all, I was proud of him because he loved the Lord with all his heart. I will miss him, but know we will meet again in Glory soon.
