John Bellis O'Dowd

West Point, 1978

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by Joseph F. Fontanella, COL, US Army (Retired) on January 29, 2010:

John's candle burned very brightly...his was a short life, but what a life fulfilled! He was universally loved and will be missed by many.

May the raindrops fall lightly on your brow.
May the soft winds freshen your spirit.
May the sunshine brighten your heart.
May the burdens of the day rest lightly upon you.
And may God enfold you in the mantle of His love.

Rest in peace, old friend.
