Jane,
We just now learned of John's passing - wish we had kept in better touch. Our sympathies are with you. We remember John as your faithful life's companion, a gentle man with many interests. Always polite, always thoughtful of others. May God comfort you in this loss.

Uncle John was a kind, gentle, loving man. He brought so much joy and happiness to everyone that he met. He touched our lives in such a special way. We are so grateful for the time that we got to spend with him and thank Aunt Jane, Priscilla, Drucilla and Marcella for sharing Uncle John with us, and allowing us to be a part of his life. He will always be in our hearts.

To the family
So sorry to hear about the death of John. I know that this is a very difficult time and your hearts are heavy with pain. If you have faith in God he will help you and can give you the strength to endure. He said at 1 Peter 5:7,"Throw all your anxiety n him, because he Cares for YOU."

I will always remember how kind Uncle John was to us when he came to visit our home. During one visit he built a hang glider wing that we tried to fly in the front yard.
May God bless him. We will keep Aunt Jane and the family in our prayers.

He was the kindest, bravest, gentleman and shared himself with everyone. I'm so glad that he was my Uncle John. He could melt a glacier with his smile.
