Condolences for
Lt. Col. John Allen Miranda

He was my absolute favorite teacher in high school as he was not just my computer teacher but also a friend. He never failed to know when something was wrong and always was one to ask my dad when he was battling his cancer. One of my fondest memories of high school was playing scattergories and how much fun we would have. He was an amazing man and I will always cherish my time with him.

I had no idea that John is a Lieutenant Colonel at the US Marine Corps. He never failed to attend our second son's Princeton High School ice hockey games with broad smile; of course, our eldest son went into Parris Island upon graduating from PHS in 2007, been serving as reserved, now being an active US Marine J.A.G. Rest in Pace John, Semper Fi

Dear Jeannie, Johnny, Nicky and Timothy,
The Schwander family sends their deepest sympathy. It's been many years since our lives were connected, but we'll always remember John as a wonderful, kind man and a very devoted husband and father. You and the boys are in our thoughts and prayers!
Love,
Jim, Mary, Sam & Kyle

To the Miranda family, what a horrible shock that your wonderful dad, husband, and man if your life has gone on. I am so sorry to hear this news and hope that you find some peach in all this chaos and sadness. Know that this man was loved by many people and we send love and peace and warmth to you in this awful time. Barb Kellar

I had the pleasure of calling John my "boss" for 9 years until I retired from teaching PE at JWMS two years ago. Simply put, John was absolutely the best "boss", but more importantly he was a good friend. His good-hearted nature will continue to live on through all of you. He always had a kind word to say about my son, though he never personally met him; he watched him from across the dug out during baseball season for a competing high school. John will be missed very much, and his legacy at PPS will never be forgotten. My prayers and sympathy go out to all of the Miranda family. May the Lord wrap his arms of comfort around all of you during this very difficult time.
