Toots Green wrote a sympathy message

“We are so sorry about John’s passing. He was a special friend for many years. He loved his golf and every time we would ask what he was doing he would grin and I would say I don’t need to ask because I always knew the answer would be playing golf. Over many years we would ride with him or he would ride with us to the base or white sands missile range for events. Our Holloman base passes all three of us had on the same color top. He will be missed. A very special friend. Prayers.”
