IN MEMORY - December 11, 2009
Upon graduation, John went to the University of Michigan, then to MIT for degrees in Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering and then earned another degree from Georgetown, MBA . He was the CFO of his own company ( Advanced Marine Inc.) that specialized in naval ship design. He retired in 2003 and spent his time with his wife Diane, his two daughters ( Laura and Alison ) , sons-in-law ( Jay and Scott), his two granddaughters ( Lily and Hannah), and two grandsons( Drew and Tyler). In 2006 John received a kidney donation from his wife Diane and in 2008 he received a heart transplant. ( See the article on the Duke University website.) John lost the fight in December 2009. I hope to come to the Reunion ; I think John would want me to as I do remember many of you. I would love to hear from you. He is greatly missed. Diane Drewry
