Daddy - you have no idea how much I treasure the time we spent together. I will miss you so very, very much, but I know we will be together later on the other side. We'll take good care of Mom, your 'Swit-heart'. We promised ... and we won't let you down. Rest now Daddy. You earned it. Love You Good - Ann

Even in the saddest moments we can find much to thank God for...a long brilliant career and life with the woman he loved, a legacy of children and grandchildren who loved him very, very much. What more could a man ask?

Peg and family - we're sorry to read of John's passing. It was an honor to know John. I miss the days we played golf together in Sugarmill.

I am so sorry to hear this news. He was a good man and so smart. I can remember him usually having some complicated project he was working in the garage. He was also kind enough to let me live in his household for a few during during high school which was very generous of him. I'm sure many people will miss him very much.
