Ski and I were stationed together and became friends in HC-6 many, many years ago. Although we lost track of each other over the years, I always seemed to run into someone else that was stationed with him. I am saddened by his passing and reminded that none of us has a guarantee on the number of years we spend on this earth. However, I take solace in knowing that we will meet again in a far better place. My thoughts and prayers go out to John’s family and I wish you all God’s peace. Fair winds and following seas John.
