Such a pleasant man. Will never forget his ready smile when meeting him at church or seeing him around town. May great memories in time soften your sense of sadness.

We are going to miss John and have so many wonderful memories of our time together. He was generous to a fault. We will always remember the family get togethers with John at the helm of the grill! He was an excellent cook and host! We also know how much he loved his family. He was so proud of each and every one of you. What a blessing to know he is resting in the arms of our Heavenly Father. We are keeping all of you in our thoughts and prayers. We love you
