I just found the tribute today that Mr. Schlapkohl read at my father's (Robert D. Walrath - DuPont) service back in 1997. Then I searched and learned of his passing.
"Sail on, Poet. Sail on In the seas far beyond our sight and sense, To the lands of great distance, Where we pray we shall again meet our loved ones gone in endless sleep. Sail on, Poet. Sail On". Capt John E. Schlapkohl.
Condolences to the Family.

John will be remembered for his love of life and love for family. His steadfast faith served as a steady light for others. His sweet cards for birthdays and holidays (complete with poems and colorful drawings) will be deeply missed. Heartfelt condolences to John's entire family during this time.

I just found this on Firefox. Thank you Bob and Kathy, for your tribute towards my father. He didn't really draw though, he did highlight. He was a wonderful man, and devoted and loving husband to his two wives, and kind and caring father of his four children. Love always, Maria E. Huffman
