I'm so very sorry for your loss. I knew John through my brother Dick, John helped me after my divorce by talking. He was always a very nice friend and showed me much respect. He is with his father, both earthly and heavenly. Rest in peace.

I'm so sorry to hear that John has left us. He loved the Lord and the Lord loved John. He always had a good way of making me laugh and we would talk together and we enjoyed each other's company when we were sharing life in his house on 36th st.back in the 70's. We made an easel for my art work together out of old oak palletts. It was a beauty. I loved John like a brother. God bless.
