I am so deeply sad to tell all of you, our friends, that the love of my life, Commander John (Jack) Warren Schropp and Landmark Forum Leader has passed away on Sunday, January 14 at 7 p.m.
We both contracted a deadly flu that caused many symptoms that he could not fight due to Alzheimer's.
Jack passed away in his sleep, peacefully. I was by his side the entire time and was with him when he took his last breath.
He will FOREVER be missed. I have lost the love of my life and am so deeply sad. I just don't know what else to say.
Please pray for his safety in a better place.
He is being buried beside his mom and dad in his place of birth in PA and didn't want any fuss or funeral. Only immediate family by his side. He wants no statue or anything much to identify where he is. He always wanted the difference he made for people to be left in their hearts and souls. That is his legacy.
So if you want to contribute in some way, to pay tribute to Jack Schropp today, go out and do something transformative for someone else's life.
He used to tell me that 'making a difference' is not about getting your face on a dollar bill one day or getting medals. It's about making a difference in the moment, when the momentary opportunity arrives.
In the US Navy he was responsible for many people being honoured with medals. He didn't need them for himself.
For years we used to received phone calls from Navy SEALs that served under Jack who thank him for keeping them safe and saving their lives so they could go back to their families. No SEAL died under his command.
So, pay it forward in Jack's honour. You will know in the moment when it's time to make a difference for another person in Jack's honour.
