passed on May 11th and his funeral Mass will be
held on Tuesday, May 16th at 1400 hours at the

For those of you that didn't know John he is a
Life Member of VHPAF and was captured in 1970
and repatriated in 1973. As you may imagine the
time he spent as a POW was very hard and only a
brave person could have lived through it. When he
returned and joined the VHPAF, John donated his
POW "uniform" to the VHPAF and it is currently on
display as a part of our Memorabilia display in
The Florida Air Museum in Lakeland.
