R.I.P. John McCain (1936 - 2018)

John McCain's official Senate portrait, taken in 2009



Editor's Note: My apologies for the gaps in the three entries that are past due updates. I want to give John his due that he has two names in Tomb Bowl XV.

Senator John McCain died on August 25th at the age of 81 succumbing to complications from brain cancer.  The Vietnam War veteran and prisoner of war and 2008 presidential candidate passed away four days shy of his 82nd birthday.  He is remembered for his sacrifices while held captive for five years in southeast Asia during the Vietnam War as well as one of the few members of Congress who sought bipartisan resolutions to our nation's problems.

With his passing, John has his first movement on the scoreboard. James still leads 3 - 1.

May his family find consolation and may he rest in peace.
