John and I were room mates when we served in the 14th Armored Cavalry in Fulda, W. Germany, in 1968.  It was an amazing time and he was a great 'roomie'.  He had to serve a year in the Army because he skipped reserve meetings!!
He came to visit me in London (where I went to live after the Army) and I visited him in Berkley, CA on my way to Australia in 1973 - both times were great fun and lots of laughs.
We lost track over the years however I caught up with John around 2007 or 2008 (?) when he was living in the Castro district of SF and I spent a few days there.  I kept in touch after he and Ed moved to Arizona.  
My heart breaks, he was a fine and decent man and may he rest in peace.  Kevin Cahalane, Melbourne, Australia. E: sasemo@bigpond.net.au

We were saddened to learn of the loss of John.  We had the pleasure of knowing John and shared many dinners with both him and Ed over the years.  John had intelligence, wit and charm and we always enjoyed our long conversations.  We will cherish the memories of our time together and feel very fortunate to have known him.  His spirit will remain in the hearts of his friends in Sun Lakes. Our heartfelt sympathy to Ed and John’s family.

John Hertel and Rosemary Neal

I cooked for Ed and John for 4 years in Sun Lakes.  Please contact me.  My very deepest sympathy.
