Julie, I am so sorry to hear about your loss, my prayers are with you.
Dear Dorothy and Family, God bless you. We are thinking of you. You are very dear and Gary knew what a wonderful caring mother he was so blessed to have. Love, Marion McAtee and Linda/Wayne Walker
Dorothy/Julie, My deepest sympathy for the passing of your Son and Father. John was always very close to me and no matter what the circumstances were thick or thin we stood together. It was God’s calling and I never question God so, I accept that God had another mission for John. I am sure you are grieving and that is expected, but keeping our faith and belief in God will help you get through this difficult time in your life. John will always be in my prayers and heart. We had many of great days at SPAWAR and I will treasure each moment. May God give you the strength! I will definately miss my Brother and pray he has joined his Father in Heaven. God Bless you! My LOVE! Tom or as John would say one of the three bone heads (John, Russel, and Tom)
Dear Dorthy and Julie – I was deeply saddened to hear of John’s passing. My heart goes out to both of you, and your extended family. I will always cherish my friendship John and I had, from playing ping-pong together, and even spending the day at the beach. My fondest memories were at work (SPAWAR). John, myself and Tom Crowley had some really great times. God has now called John home, we will all miss his smile and his wit. I will always remember John for his love for fishing and his dedication to his family.
Dear Mrs. Bower & Family, I was very shocked and saddened to learn of John’s passing. I worked with John for a number of years while he was at SpaWarHQ in Crystal City. John loved his Navy and was a very dedicated and loyal member of our office staff. I clearly remember John’s calm actions in those times where the office staff had to operate in a state of high offfice production. To all of us his high regard and love for his family was always present. My wife and I share your loss of John and we know he will be in God’s Kingdom. With all our best wishes, Billie C. and Elena Cabbage
Dear Mrs. Bower & Julie, I too worked with John at SPAWAR. I have fond memories of John. He created gourmet receipes for me. Today I shared them with Tom Crowley. John would proof my homework and make thoughtful suggestions. He was very bright with a wonderful sense of humor. He will be strongly missed.
Dear Dorothy & Julie, I’m so sorry for your loss. May you find comfort in your memories of John when he was enjoying the things that were so important to him such as his family, job, music, and even fishing. My sincere sympathy to both of you. Love, Marcella
