Our family knew John for many years as he was "our architect" and we are all saddened by his passing. John was not only a gifted architect but an honest, decent and hard-working man. Our condolences to Prudy and the rest of his family. Henry and Maria Stein, Tempe, Arizona.

We would like to express our sympathy for your loss. The Kiwanis family has lost another dedicated, hard working individual whose love of Kiwanis was evident in all that he did. Kamp Kiwanis will continue in a way that would make John proud.
