            Farewell, comrade John Istvan

            Post 7883 & American Legion Post 171 team up to honor John's life & legacy

            The two Posts were privileged to perform funeral honors for Comrade John H. Istvan, at his memorial service at Snyder Funeral Home in Sunbury, Monday, November 14.


            Our Post performed the VFW funeral ritual, and Post 171 provided the firing squad just before their bugler played "Taps".


            John's casket flag was folded and presented by an Army ceremonial squad.


            John was a Vietnam War veteran, having served with the 87th Airborne.

            in memoriam

            Post 7883 Bids a fond farewell to Comrade Mike Etling

            A memorial service will be held at NOON on Tuesday, May 10, 2022 at The Westerville First Presbyterian Church, 41. W. College Ave. Visitation with the family will precede the service from 10:45-Noon.


            Mike was a born leader and volunteered at church and in the community in various capacities. Mike served his country in the U.S. Army 1968-69 in Korea. Unfortunately, it was there that he was exposed to Agent Orange which caused the cancer that took his life. Mike took great pride in being a veteran and supporting our country. In 2003 he became a member of Westerville American Legion Post 171 and served as Commander from 2005-2010 and has been a Trustee of the post until the present time. Mike served as an Elder and a Deacon at various times at First Presbyterian Church of Westerville and W. Berlin Presbyterian Church. He was involved in the building of some of the very first Habitat for Humanity homes in Columbus and Delaware County. Serving and helping others was his passion.


            Mike had many friends who loved and respected him. One friend described him as a ‘man of quiet strength’ that others could depend on. He will be missed by all who knew and loved him. Until the very last moment of his life, his faith in God and Jesus was strong and gave him peace.


            His complete obituary can be seen at http://www.hillfuneral.com/westerville-funeral-home/obituaries-services/obits-photos/1180
