Ron and Fred Savok

Anyone who was associated with SJC in recent years will remember Ron Savok and many will remember his father Fred Savok. I received a nice e-mail from Blanche Iliff and attached to her e-mail was an e-mail from Ron about the passing of his father. Blanche asked me to post Ron’s e-mail, so here is the closing to her e-mail with Ron’s attached.


Iknow lots of people will remember him. FYI, this is his second tour in Afghanistan.

Love,
Blanche and Chuck
***********************

Greetings to one and all-It is with great and heavy heart that I inform you all that my Dad- Covenant Church pastor (retired), Fred Savok passed away in Kotzebue Alaska. He was at a store shopping and just dropped. EMS tried to revive him- but God has called him home. He joins his wife, Gladys Savok and my little brother Walter (Peachy) Savok at the Pearly Gates and he is very much welcomed there as Heaven rejoices as another great Christian warrior arrives home.I am currently in Shajoy, Afghanistan and will start another long journey home to bury him in Kotzebue. Although it has only been a couple of months since I went to Bethel to bury my brother Walt, I desire to return to Afghanistan and continue the mission of training the 1-2-205 Hero Corp HHC and Weapons Company for independant operations. It is a job I love and am very good at. I thank you for your prayers and well wishes during this very tough and troubling times, but I am doing good and will be home soon.Best regards and love.1Lt Ronald D.
