I was not aware that Jack had passed away until now. It has been five years. I feel terrible because he and I worked with Channel of Blessings food ministry at Jubilee Church in Camarillo. Jack became a good friend. He and I rode together in the Channel of Blessings food truck for a year.
We were both Presidents...of our respective chess clubs in high school! We never got around to that game of chess we wanted to play. I fondly called Jack "Commander Havicon" at times. My Father was in the Navy as well; during Vietnam. I know that is is not the easiest of life. The military is a sacrifice and I am pleased and blessed to have had a fine man like Jack Havicon in my life. He was the REAL DEAL. I will see you in Heaven my friend.

So sorry to hear of Jack's passing. He is now rejoycing with Jesus. PTL!
What a joy it was to know him. He was a blessing to us and so many others. You both impacted our lives. Your fellowship was so uplifting for us.
May the peace of Jesus keep you in all your ways.
We love you!

So sorry to hear of Jack's death. He has graduated and is rejoycing with Jesus.
I recall when you and Jack would visit us in Moss Point as a result of Jack coming to work at Ingalls. What a joy it was to know you both. We so enjoyed your fellowship and love for Jesus.
Genny, we pray that the peace of Jesus would surround you and establish you in his love!
Pray for his blessings to keep you and strengthen you.
Love
Gary and Dot Grayban

Condolences to John's Family and friends. Very sad to hear about his passing. He will be missed, but not forgotten.
I first met John in 1967 when we both worked at the Naval Ship Engineering Center (NAVSEC) at Port Hueneme. I was a Freshman at Ventura JC and received a Temporary, Internment job (lasted over 5 years) at NAVSEC. John quickly became a mentor that led me to change my major from Liberal Arts to Engineering. We worked together on several projects on our assigned test ship the USS Norton Sound (AVM-1). These projects (many were advanced, state of the art Prototypes) included a Ring Laser Gyro, Landing Forces Support System, Shadowgraph, MK 26 Launcher and Vertical Launch System (VLS). John and I pulled 100s of feet of cable, hooked up power and signal data to power panels/switchboards, etc. In June1972 I graduated with a BSE degree thanks in part to John's continual guidance, phenomenal knowledge, leadership and work ethnic. I immediately started work at Vitro Laboratories. On 1 Jul 72, NAVSEC officially disbanded and most employees, including John, started work at the Naval Ship Weapon System Engineering Station (NSWSES). In late 1974, I took a job offer from NSWSWES, and guess what? I again worked with John, and other familiar faces from NAVSEC, again on the Norton Sound, this time working on a prototype , scaled down AEGIS Combat System. Later, around 1977, John and I spent 2 1/2 months at Ingalls Shipbuilding, Pascagoula, MS. working on a Technical Assessment Requirements (TAR) Team for the first AEGIS ship, the USS Ticonderoga (CG-47). The rest is history.
One of the things that stood out in my early memories of John was his donating of blood. He was over a Gallon Club member even then. He was such a caring and compassionate individual!.
