His family and friends would like to extend their gratitude to Dr. Leslie Schmidt, Dr. Kimberly Shepard and their staff at San Martin and at San Jose Valley Medical Center for doing more than their best for John. Also, a big hug and kiss for Cathy Larson, RN, at Valley Medical Center for her overwhelming kindness to John - he loved her dearly.

There will be no funeral at John’s request. A “remembrance party” party is being planned around Navy week with notices going out to those interested in attending. Contact Barbara at (408) 686-0975.
