| John T. "Johnny" Estelow | John Theodore ‘Johnny’ Estelow was born on August 3, 1942 to Ethel and Clinton Estelow. He was raised in Beverly and was a member of the drum and bugle corps, Johnson Memorial Cadets of Bordentown. John joined the US Army in 1967 and served as a Specialist in South Vietnam until 1968. While serving overseas in 1968, John got word from home that the group was about to lose its meeting hall because of urban renewal. So he sent a quick letter to President Lyndon B. Johnson. Federal wheels began to move and Secretary Robert C. Weaver of HUD informed him that everything would be looked after – the youngsters of the corps would not have to disband after all. On return from Vietnam, John was selected to serve on President Nixon’s Inauguration Guard in Washington D.C. on January 20, 1969. He was discharged with the rank of sergeant. He moved to Delanco in 1996. He married Betty Fink and they had four children. John passed away quietly on May 11, 2013 in Gettysburg, PA at age 70. | US Army, Sgt | Specialist | Vietnam | 1942 - 2013 |
