Thank you for the wonderful words about yo...Lynne,<br /><br />Thank you for the wonderful words about your stepfather and my uncle John Urvan. I am his niece and the daughter of his only sister Stella Urvan Noll who died 25+ years ago in August 1984 at the age of 60. <br /><br />As I looked at the pictures and read your tribute, so many wonderful memories came back to me about Uncle John and put a smile on my face even though I have tears in my eyes having just learned of his death from the internet. <br /><br />One of my favorite memories was one Christmas when my family surprised him with a new pair of jeans as he had never owned a pair before. He was like a young child so excited when he opened the box that he immediately put them on and danced around the living room of his apartment with the biggest grin on his face, he was so happy and thrilled that they fit and that he was now wearing the latest in fashion. He was now our COOL HIP Uncle! <br /><br />I am so happy to learn that he had a wonderful life and family these past 20 plus years in Georgia and to also learn that you and I have something in common--we both loved him so very much. <br /><br />Please extend my deepest sympathies to your mother and your family. You are all in my prayers and thoughts at this very difficult time.<br /><br />You, my brothers Paul & Bob Jr and I were all so blessed and lucky to have had John Urvan in our lives. He was my HERO not only for his service to our country, but because he was such a gentle and loving man and lived his life with integrity and honor. He was so loved by me and I will truly miss my uncle and "second dad". <br /><br />With sympathy,<br /><br />Pamela Noll (pjn11@aol.com)Pamela J.

Thank you for sharing comments and pictures...Lynne,<br />Thank you for sharing comments and pictures of you step-father. He certainly was one of many silent American heros - those that served their country with honor and then continued to give back to others in many ways. May his life example carry on and influence those that had the opportunity to know this great man.<br />God grant you and your family peace at this time of passing.<br />David KapchinskeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
