Nedra, Deepest sympathy to you and your family. I have many fond memories working with John at Younkers. I honestly did not realize what a great boss he was until I left Younkers. He tolerated a lot from me and the guys over the years. We had a lot of laughs. I will remember him always.

Dear Nedra and family,
So sorry to learn of John's passing.
I have many memories from my days at Younker's, doing the payroll for John and the truck drivers.
Let the love that held you close continue to bring you strength and comfort.
With sympathy.
