I Love you John. I am imagining you giving me a big ole bear hug. You will greatly be missed.
John you will be missed. You were a great friend. Climb high on that mountain my friend
I am proud to say John was my friend. He was also like a brother to me and would listen to me for hours. 🙂 The last time I saw him he was off to do one of is favorite things, pick up grandchildren. I will always remember him as a kind and gentle man, one who was devoted to his family and true to his friends. I will miss him.
John was a kind, sweet man. I have been lucky to have been able to call him ‘Uncle John’ for many years. He was always quick with a laugh and always willing to lend a hand to family members when he could. He has certainly left an impression on all the lives he has touched. Hugs and love to everyone. Celebrate the memories.
Thinking of you in your time of sorrow. I have many great memories of John in the American Legion. He was always cheerful and shared it with others. I am sorry I could not attend the services, I was out of town. You were in my thoughts. Sharon Regnier
