"I had the honor of serving in the same platoon with John at Basic School in Virgina and remember him well. There are some names that when mentioned to you sound familiar, but you're not sure how or why. When I learned of John's passing today, I could instantly picture his face, his smile, and his wit. John left an impression on everyone who met him and he will truly be missed. God Speed, John. Semper Fi."
