A Farewell to John



Today we bid farewell to an amazing man,
he left us after a mere 90 years.
His marks are deep and lasting,
his contributions, invaluable.
He was a recipient of a bronze star for valor,
he was a soldier at Normandy on D-Day,
he served his country in unbelievable circumstances,
and went on to serve his community and his family
with the same faithfulness and devotion.
He always served his God in this manner.
He will be missed.
There are few like John left.
So, tonight, I send a single lantern off in his honor.
Your light was bright and consistent,
may it shine in Heaven for eternity.
Peace, B
