John was our protector, always watchful and always on duty at Ingalls for the safety of its employees, patients, doctors, and visitors. There are very few that could meet his standards and his work ethic. I was blessed to have him as a friend and co-worker for 25 years and thought the world of him. Always a gentleman, quiet, and calm. The world needed more John Bravos. Rest in peace John and know you will be missed.

I've only worked with John in the last five years here at Ingalls. He was always the friendliest gentleman to me. We would walk down the hall and talk about his pool league and what fun he had on it. He was such a pleasure to know. Such a shock and he will be sorely missed.May he rest in peace.
