The world is less of a place with the passing of Doctor. He was always an encouragement and just a genuine, wonderful man to me during my college years as well as my adulthood. I will sorely miss his "Christ-like" gentle spirit. My thoughts and prayers are with the family.

Hi! I am cousin Merle Sheffer the last member of the Warren Sheffer family. My wife Pat and I sold our PA home 3 years ago and moved to Grace Christian Retirement Village in Winona Lake, IN. John was one of my favorite cousins. We enjoyed our infrequent visits even though living miles apart. I am looking forward to seeing John in heaven and singing with him once again. Keep in touch. Love, Cousin Merle
