terrible news, prayers needed

My dad passed away unexpectedly last night. Please keep us in your prayers or thoughts as we go through this time. I'm on my way to Florida to be with my stepmom and my brother in Sun City Center. Long drive ahead of me (about 18 hours or so). See you when I get back unless I can get online while I'm down there (time allowing).

Man, I am truely sorry to hear it. I'm still dealing with my Dad's passing last October, not very well I'm afraid. I will pray for you.

So very sorry to hear of your tragic loss, Jack. May I offer my condolences, good thoughts and prayers to you and your family in these difficult times. Went through the same six years back, and I can't say I'm really over it, but life goes on, I guess.

 

Oy.. this must be the week for it. Friend of ours lost his mother this week and another good friend lost his grandfather.

We're thinking of you Wraith. I'm not the religious type, but I'll definitely send my sympathies and warm thoughts in your direction. We;ll be thinking of you and hope you get through this time as best you can.

He was a regular fixture at annual family reunions.

Right from the beginning John was active with the Kings Point Computer Club and later the Sun City Center Computer Club. It is impossible to say all that John did for the Computer Club. He was their chief technician and installer, assisting in all of their computer needs. He was involved in many facets of the club, including maintenance, purchasing, the newsletters, and training. Any aspect where assistance was needed, John stepped in to provide his support. His phone and email were always busy as he willingly helped people with their computers enabling them to electronically communicate with their grandchildren.

John assisted many other groups when they had their meetings. Making sure that their technical needs were provided for and that any difficulties were quickly corrected.

His family and friends will remember John as being a good husband, father and Papa. John had been a volunteer EMT for the LeRoy Ambulance Service. He was very active in the Boy Scouts of America and held many leadership positions in both local troop and council positions. He had many fond memories of his Wood Badge training and guiding his sons through Scouting. He also volunteered as advisor for Explorers teaching electronics and computers.

John graduated from Milliken University in Decatur Illinois with a Bachelors of Science in Business Administration in 1952. John enlisted in the U.S. Army in August of 1952 and served as a Corporal and Instructor at Camp Gordon, Georgia. His knowledge of hunting and his woods lore plus his skill in map reading led the Army to place him in charge of Map Reading and Orientation as well as sending him to Leadership Course. In August of 1954, he was honorably discharged from active service and was transferred to U.S. Army Reserves.
