My deepest sympathy and heartfelt prayers are extended to John’s loved ones. He certainly lived a good long life and is certainly enjoying being with Sophie again, while in the presence of our loving and gracious God!
John, Was sorry to hear about your Dad. Hope he did not suffer much in his later years. I have many fond memories of your family, especially your Mom and the Band Mothers. I often wondered were you had relocated. Give my best to your wife and family. God Bless! Nancy (Robinson) Taflan
Our deepest sympathies to all the family and prayers for your strength as you mourn the loss of your loved one. John was a wonderful gentleman with a great smile! Many years ago he & my father were friends & co-workers. John helped my father build his house from start to finish over 50 years ago. He will be remembered fondly. Patty (Perazzoli) Wieloh
