Ann, we were very sad to hear about John's passing. We feel fortunate that we were able to see him and the rest of the family on our trip back east a couple years ago. John will be in our thoughts and prayers. May God bless you and your family, love Greg and Mikki.

Ann, Kathy, Michael and Nancy: So sorry to hear of John's death from Danny Sullivan. I was out of the country and just returned home to hear the sad news. My prayers are with all of you at this time. Your faith will be a great source of strength. Will be in touch.

I have chosen not to think of the sadder times for John. I will instead remember the Whist Game, Down the Cape. Low card, Aces low. First card a searcher that led right into my run. 26 points and wet-your-pants laughter. John hanging his head, with that look of his. And his shoulders heaving with mirth. Good Sport Always. Good Man Forever.
I will always love thinking of our times together. John, Ann, Bob, Deb.

Dear Ann and Family,
My deepest sympathy for the loss of your most beloved John. Ann you would light up on our "womens weekends" away when you spoke of John. You were always looking for something special to bring home to him. Usually something "yummy" that you would hide and give a bit at a time. And the light in your eyes when you told stories of your family! And how your John so enjoyed his life with the family was the way you will and should remember him. You made him happy Ann. God bless and pray for you all and give you strength the many days ahead of missing him. Remember he is always with you in your heart and soul.
Love, Maryrose

In sympathy and friendship,
Ed and Barbara Arnold
