    The last call from me
    The last call so I remember you
    Of all the memories old and new

    So sorry for your loss. John was a great guy and a great step grandpa to my kids i was married to Peggy’s son Michael. There was never a time that we didn’t laugh about anything even if it was sad. My thoughts and prayers are with you. May he fly high and watch over us.

    John’s humor was there as a child too. I remember laughing so hard with my cousin when we visited our grandparents. I do so appreciate his service to our country. Leavenworth National Cemetery is a most fitting resting place.
