JJ Harned passed away on Thursday, October 30, 2008 (he was 81 years old). He had been in failing health for over a year, but started getting progressively worse in late September. Although the doctors thought he had about six months, God had other plans for him. JJ's Daughter and wife (Candy) were holding his hand and talking to him when he took his last breath. As you can imagine, this has been very hard on my Mom, losing her husband of 61 years. He was a beautiful man, and we were very fortunate to have him in our life. We had a small military funeral for him. Two Navy Commanders were there to fold and present the flag to my Mom, and the Army National Guard was there to play "Taps" and do the rifle volley. It was a beautiful ceremony. He was buried on Nov 4 in the Military Court of Honor at Mt. Vernon Memorial Park in Fair Oaks, CA.
