The Westerly Sun has an obituary for John E. Shibilio who passed away June 8.

There is no mention of the heroic ambulance transport from Wood River Junction to Rhode Island Hospital, and this may not even be the same John Shibilio. But Rhode Island is small, and I’ve been getting a lot of hits on the post that quotes Christopher Rowland’s Providence Journal article of 1990, ‘Chain Reaction’, so here’s the link.

I send my sympathies to Mr.Shibilio’s family, and if this is the same man, his courage in carrying out his mission is not forgotten.
