John Brandon, followup

John Brandon passed away last Tuesday night of a heart attack, like his father. Funeral arrangements are as follows. There will be visitation at Rector funeral home Sunday, June 10th from 3-7. Funeral will be Monday June 11th , 10am at Dreamland Cemetery, in Canyon, TX. The graveside will be with full military honors.

The family asks that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to CASA Amarillo (click here). This is a wonderful child advocacy organization. Any flowers received will be donated to the Ussery Roan retirement home for Veterans and to the Veterans hospital in Amarillo, following the service.

RIP John Brandon

It is with saddened heart that we inform you of the sudden passing of fellow Travel Supreme member John Brandon.  John always was a fun person to be with and the life of any rally.  He loved playing dominoes with the guys in the club (even though he never won). He always had a kind word for everyone and enjoyed meeting new people.  His skills as a singer, reciter of poetry, and all around good guy will be sorely missed at future rallies.

John was very active with rendering Military Honor Funerals.  As of last end year, he had given military honors at around 700 funerals.  We have seen him sing the national Anthem during Military Appreciation Day at civic events.  He loved God and country.

His friends, Don and Betty Smith in Amarillo, are making final arrangements.   His cremated remains will be lain to rest with Military Honors on Friday, June 8th.  A memorial will be held at a later date.  Details  are still being finalized but Don and Betty Smith may be reached at (806) 570-8056.

May he rest in peace.  We will miss him.
