John Thomas Downey

West Point, 1960

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by KEITH GARNER on June 1, 2013:

I enjoyed knowing Jack, both as cadets and after graduation. I got to know him through the Debate Council and Forum and the Ski Club. We found we had a lot in common. Unfortunately, I did not serve with him after graduation, but continued sporadic contact until the Class of 1960 forum was formed. I reconnected with him and sought him out at class reunions and frequently corresponded with him via the internet. I was distressed when he became ill and greatly saddened by his death. I miss him every day. Well Done, Jack, Be Thou at Peace!
