John Lester Mikeska

John and Ann; I am so sorry about your dad! My dad J.E. just found out this weekend.

SIR JOHN: I SPEAK FOR THE NINE REMAINING MEMBERS OF THE 65TH ARMY BAND EXTANT AND THE WIDOWS OF THE MEMBERS AND FRIENDS WHO HAVE ALREADY PASSED. ADIOS, OLD BUDDY AND GREAT FRIEND. BUT, THERE YOU GO AGAIN JOHN; I NEVER GAVE YOU THE DOWN BEAT TO DEPART THIS LIFE, I GUESS YOU WERE FOLLOWING THE DOWN BEAT OF A BETTER CONDUCTOR. WE WILL ALL MISS AND REMEMBER YOU JOHN. DISMISSED. BRAD.

To Sir John's family -- I will miss his kindness, wit, and wisdom from the e-mails he posted on Texas Czechs online.

May he rest in peace.

My genealogy buddy, my heart is sadden. You will be remember. Rest in peace Sir John.

Sir John and I met online about 14 years ago. We helped each other on our genealogy. When I couldn't sleep at night due to brain surgery he would chat with me. I learned then what a wonderful guy he was. He would religiously visit hiswife when she was.in the hospital or after care. That is when he ttold me how much he loved her and his family. He was so proud of all of his kids. He enjoyed his genealogy, his travels and he really got a kick out of his son's racing. I had wanted to take my husband and son to the race but we never made it. I will miss our research but I wanted you kids to know how great your dad was and loved all of you. You are in Heaven with your beloved now. Thanks for the memories Sir John.

Our sincere condolences to John's family. He was a good friend of many years and will be dearly missed.

I am so fortunate to have known both Mr. and Mrs. Mikeska and their family. My thoughts and prayers are with each of you.

John I am sorry to hear of the loss of your father. May the memories that you have of your time together bring you comfort. Your Mustang Friends

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and family, Ann. We will always be joined as one family and hope I can be there for you as you were for me.

I worked with John for many years at American General. He was a great guy; very helpful, always willing to work hard. I know he will be greatly missed by his family and friends.
