RETIRED US AIR FORCE – VIETNAM ERA
The family of Mr. John Francis Reardanz, Retired US Air Force, requests the presence and participation of the San Antonio Patriot Guard Riders at the graveside rendering of military honors of their loved one. We are honored to accept this invitation.
John was born to Carl & Merna Reardanz on April 25, 1947 in Kankakee, Illinois. After graduating (barely) from Wilmington High School, he enlisted in the United States Air Force in 1966. While stationed at CCK Air Base (Taichung, Taiwan) in 1971, John met his wife, Hsu-Mei, and had 2 ridiculously incredible children: Michael and Kathy. John retired from active duty in 1989 after admirably serving for 23 years. He would later serve his country in a civilian capacity for another 20 years. As if working one job wasn’t enough, John also moonlighted as a bingo caller at Randolph AFB for many years.
John enjoyed bingo, bowling, losing money at the Let It Ride table at Coushatta Casino, watching Judson HS football, spending time with his grandchildren, and playing the Texas Lottery…religiously.
He is survived by his wife, Hsu-Mei; son, Michael; daughter, Kathy; son-in-law, Van; grandchildren, Declan & Quinn; brother, James; sister-in-law, Judy; and countless extended family & friends.
